The new Knesset is set to take action. Eisenkot announces a reversal of Netanyahu's decision
The swearing-in of the new Knesset marks a significant political shift in Israel. Gadi Eisenkot, tasked with forming a government, aims to reverse many policies of the previous Netanyahu administration. His coalition has a parliamentary majority, but the formation of a government must occur within six weeks. Eisenkot's proposals include establishing a commission to investigate the October 7 Hamas attack and limiting the prime minister's term. He is open to collaborating with Arab parties under specific conditions. Netanyahu, meanwhile, questions the election results and warns against reliance on Arab representatives. The transitional period sees Netanyahu retaining power while Eisenkot negotiates coalition agreements, with potential implications for Netanyahu's political future amid ongoing corruption charges.
