Eisenkot bid for panels
With the opening of the 26th Knesset, Israeli opposition parties agreed to divide up senior posts and parliamentary committee seats, aiming to curb Likud’s influence and manage negotiations over forming the next government. The Yashar party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, said it had collected the signatures of more than 61 lawmakers calling for Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana to be replaced by Matan Kahana. Avigdor Lieberman was nominated to head the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, and Liran Avishar Ben-Horin to head the Finance Committee. Eisenkot said he was seeking to form an emergency government, while President Isaac Herzog urged the formation of a government and called for new elections to be avoided. Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu moved to shore up his camp by appointing Gideon Sa’ar as interior minister.
