The new Israeli Knesset convened on Tuesday, November 10, marking the start of negotiations to form a new government. Gadi Eisenkot, the opposition leader, was tasked by President Isaac Herzog to form the government, despite a divided political landscape. Eisenkot, a former Chief of Staff, submitted a bill to establish an investigative committee on the October 7 attacks, accusing outgoing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of negligence. Netanyahu, who seeks to form a national unity coalition, has rejected the accusations and accused Arab parties of supporting terrorism. Discussions to form a coalition include debates on recognizing Hamas as a terrorist organization, a condition set by Eisenkot for including Arab parties in the coalition.
