Israel's Ra'am remained outside the coalition while Iran's regime continued unchanged.
Sweden's parliament approved a single-party government led by the Social Democrats on Sunday. In Israel, the Ra'am party was not included in the new governing coalition announced on Friday. Iran's political leadership remained intact as the regime did not collapse by the end of June. In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi continued in office beyond the June 30 deadline.
