PoliticsIsraeli opposition moves swiftly to seize control as new Knesset is sworn in

After Israel’s new Knesset was sworn in, opposition lawmakers moved to replace the speaker and use their majority to control the legislature. Gadi Eisenkot has a mandate to form a government, but the opposition parties remain divided; if he fails within six weeks, Benjamin Netanyahu may get another chance. The opposition has also proposed legislation on an inquiry into the 7 October 2023 attacks, prime-ministerial term limits and reversing Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul.
