Three Political Battles Await Netanyahu in the New Knesset
The Israeli Knesset begins its new session amidst significant challenges for Benjamin Netanyahu, following the appointment of Gadi Eisenkot to form a government.
The Israeli Knesset is commencing its new session, marked by intense preparations from the opposition to challenge caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu's bloc currently holds 53 seats, placing it in a position of disadvantage against a broader opposition coalition.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog has tasked former Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot with the responsibility of forming a new government.
A primary objective for the opposition is the establishment of an inquiry committee to investigate the security failures surrounding the October 7th attack.
Furthermore, opposition members are working to repeal controversial legislation previously enacted regarding judicial reforms.
The Knesset's immediate agenda includes electing a new speaker of the house, a prerequisite before the new government can be sworn in.
