During the inaugural session of the Israeli parliament, Netanyahu and his opposition preparing for his removal clashed.

The inaugural session of the Israeli Knesset revealed tensions between Prime Minister Netanyahu and the opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot. Despite Netanyahu's coalition losing its parliamentary majority, Eisenkot's bloc also failed to secure enough mandates for government formation. President Isaac Herzog tasked Eisenkot with forming a government, urging cooperation to avoid new elections. Netanyahu called for a unity government to prevent Arab parties from participating, while protests erupted outside the Knesset. Eisenkot announced the suspension of talks with Netanyahu's Likud party, criticizing the Prime Minister's rhetoric and handling of security issues. The opposition aims to review controversial laws from Netanyahu's era and limit his future terms, with potential support from Arab representatives in the Knesset.
