The lawmakers elected in the October 27 vote were sworn in on Tuesday in the Knesset, where Gadi Eisenkot is seeking to build a majority after being tasked by the president with forming a new government.
Immediately after the new Knesset was sworn in, Yashar, the party led by former general Eisenkot, introduced a series of bills, including proposals to establish a commission of inquiry into the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, and to impose term limits on the office of prime minister, according to The Jerusalem Post.
In addition, Yashar introduced bills seeking to repeal the laws passed as part of the Netanyahu government’s judicial overhaul.
With no clear path to power
Although President Isaac Herzog tasked Eisenkot with forming a government on Sunday, he has no clear path to power, according to Reuters.
Netanyahu, who called for a national unity government and cited the threat posed by Iran, according to AFP, will remain caretaker prime minister until a new government is sworn in.
The alliance between his party, Likud, and far-right and ultra-Orthodox parties lost its majority in the October 27 elections and currently holds 53 of the 120 seats in the Knesset.
