Israel’s new parliament has opened amid chaos, shouting matches and a fresh political showdown. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged rival parties to form a national unity government, but his appeal quickly turned into a confrontation with former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett over the October 7 Hamas attacks. Meanwhile, opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot has received the mandate to form the next government, backed by 67 lawmakers. But with no bloc holding a majority and divisions over Arab-party support, the road to a coalition remains difficult. The opposition is also moving to take control of the Knesset. Can Eisenkot secure the 61 seats needed to end Netanyahu’s tenure? Josh Barnes brings you more on Firstpost Live.
