The newly elected Israeli parliament was sworn in on Tuesday, but after the deadlocked elections no new government has been formed yet. President Isaac Herzog, at the opening of the first session, called on political parties to compromise and cooperate so the country can avoid another crisis. Deutschlandfunk ↗

Opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot, a former chief of the general staff, is attempting to form a government. His political bloc has already presented a bill to establish a state commission of inquiry that would examine security failures related to the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023. Parliament can debate the bill even before a new governing coalition is formed. Le Monde ↗

After the inaugural session, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for the formation of a national unity government under his leadership. At the same time, he accused the Israeli Arab parties of supporting terrorism. Eisenkot criticized these statements. Netanyahu also warned against Eisenkot's political bloc cooperating with Arab parties. seznamzpravy.cz ↗

The new Knesset faces disputes over political responsibility for the security failures, the question of military service for ultra-Orthodox Jews, and the future direction of Israeli society. The outcome of the coalition negotiations will determine whether Eisenkot forms a government, or whether Netanyahu makes another attempt. aktuality.sk ↗
