Israel's new parliament was sworn in on Tuesday, with neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc nor opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot's camp holding a majority. Eisenkot has received a mandate to form a government and is seeking to build a coalition following the October elections. In the opening session, Eisenkot pledged to launch an official inquiry into Hamas's October 7, 2023 attacks and to reverse many of Netanyahu's policies. The session was tense, with rival parties trading barbs over the possibility of forming a government with the support of Arab lists.
