Yashar Party

The opposition holds a majority in the new Knesset and plans a vote to replace the speaker. Netanyahu’s unity calls show a worried leader, says Keshet Neev.

The meeting came a day after Eisenkot asked A-G Gali Baharav-Miara to intervene, saying Netanyahu had denied him the briefings while the government serves in a caretaker capacity.

Medan was seriously wounded during the Israel-Hamas War, losing both legs in an explosion in northern Gaza that killed four other reservists in the early stages of the war.

Just two days earlier, at her son's swearing-in ceremony at the Knesset, Peretz had struck a different tone, emphasizing the importance of unity and working on behalf of all Israeli citizens.

Yashar MK Shaul Meridor said haredi parties could join an Eisenkot-led emergency government if they accept four principles, including universal service and recognition of Hamas as a terrorist group.

Israel cannot afford to wait for coalition negotiations to conclude. The newly elected Knesset must begin addressing urgent national challenges without delay.

Amid reports of renewed tensions between Netanyahu and the IDF chief over Iran, Eisenkot demanded restraint and regular security briefings during the caretaker government period.

Eisenkot has the votes to reshape the Knesset, but his choice of Matan Kahana for speaker could complicate efforts to bring haredi parties into a governing coalition.

The Knesset Arrangements Committee approved Avigdor Liberman and Liran Avisar Ben-Horin to lead the defense and finance panels, marking a major parliamentary win for Eisenkot's bloc.
