Eisenkot unveils agenda to reverse Netanyahu’s policies as Israel’s new parliament is sworn in
The bloc filed bills to launch an Oct. 7 inquiry, repeal judicial changes and replace the speaker as it seeks a 61-vote majority.
- On Tuesday, former military chief Gadi Eisenkot's bloc launched a legislative offensive at the new Knesset, introducing bills to repeal Netanyahu-era judicial changes, set prime ministerial term limits, and establish an inquiry into the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks.
- Caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains in power while Eisenkot attempts to form a government, but the opposition now holds a majority in the 120-member parliament, complicating his political survival amid an ongoing corruption trial.
- Eisenkot's bloc submitted signatures to oust Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, a Netanyahu loyalist, and nominated Matan Kahana as his replacement, a procedural maneuver to control the legislative agenda before a new government is sworn in.
- During the inaugural session, Netanyahu attacked Arab-Israeli politicians, prompting Eisenkot to condemn the speech as "divisive" and cancel a planned meeting with the Likud Party on Wednesday.
- Eisenkot has up to six weeks to secure a coalition government, a complex task as neither he nor Netanyahu commands the 61 votes required to form one, leaving the country in political transition.
