Quick Summary

Israel’s new parliament will be sworn in on Tuesday as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu loses his majority control, while Gadi Eisenkot attempts to form a government within 28 days. President Isaac Herzog will address the 120-seat parliament at 4pm local time, where neither Netanyahu's right-wing bloc nor Eisenkot’s opposition holds a clear majority. The opposition aims to establish a legislative agenda that includes investigating security failures under Netanyahu, such as the October 7 Hamas attack. Key positions are being filled by figures like Matan Kahana for speaker and Avigdor Lieberman for chair of the foreign affairs committee, with the possibility of support from Arab-Israeli lawmakers or ultra-Orthodox Jews to secure a majority needed for forming the new government.
