> 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.
