What happened
Gadi Eisenkot, who secured a mandate to form a new government, proposed several bills in the Knesset to scrutinize Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of events related to the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. Eisenkot pledged to reverse many policies of the previous government. Netanyahu responded by calling on opposition leaders to form a unified government, asserting that his Likud party should lead the coalition.
Why it matters
The intense political rivalry and the legislative push for an inquiry into the conflicts with Hamas and Hezbollah create significant domestic political instability. This instability occurs amid ongoing military conflicts, which have already caused damage to the Israeli economy.
