Opposition Seeks Knesset Control
The Israeli opposition is seeking to oust Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana and appoint one of its own to control the legislative agenda and pressure Benjamin Netanyahu, as efforts to form a government remain deadlocked. Netanyahu’s bloc won 53 seats, compared with 48 for the opposition and 19 for the Arab parties, while 61 seats are needed to form a government. The opposition’s plan includes pushing for an official commission of inquiry into the events of October 7, 2023, reversing judicial amendments, and introducing a law barring anyone facing criminal charges from forming a government. Meanwhile, the Haredi parties have hinted they could move closer to the opposition because of their dispute with Netanyahu over exemptions from military service. Possible ways out of the crisis include a unity government, a minority government backed by Arab parties, or winning over the Haredi parties, though disagreements within the opposition persist.
