Knesset Opens Amid Clash
The 26th Israeli Knesset opened its session with all 120 lawmakers taking the oath of office, amid sharp divisions over the formation of the next government and the participation of Arab parties. Some lawmakers walked out in protest at Benjamin Netanyahu’s remarks. Gadi Eisenkot received the recommendations of 67 lawmakers, but his bloc failed to assemble a stable coalition. Netanyahu’s bloc holds 53 seats; the Jewish parties in Eisenkot’s bloc and among his partners hold 48; and the Arab parties hold 19. Eisenkot’s bloc began moves to replace the Knesset speaker and introduced bills to investigate the events of October 7, 2023, and repeal previous legislative amendments. The session ended without a decision on the government, with an initial deadline of December 6 to form one, extendable to December 20.
