Israel establishes its Parliament in the first challenge to Netanyahu

Israel's Knesset has been established amid tensions as Prime Minister Netanyahu accuses Arab parties of threatening the Jewish state. Despite leading the Likud party, Netanyahu's coalition lacks the necessary support for a government. Gadi Eisenkot, tasked with forming a government, faces challenges due to divisions among his potential allies. Netanyahu's recent speech was met with interruptions and criticism, leading to Eisenkot canceling negotiations with Likud. A legislative package targeting Netanyahu has been introduced, including a proposal for a state investigation into the October 7 events. The formation of the Knesset marks a complex path towards a government without Netanyahu, raising questions about Eisenkot's leadership amid ongoing conflict.
