Gadi Eisenkot, the newly appointed politician responsible for forming Israel’s government, has vowed to initiate an official inquiry into the Hamas attacks that occurred on October 7, 2023. This announcement came during a contentious opening session of the Knesset, where rival political factions engaged in heated exchanges regarding potential alliances with Arab parties.
Eisenkot’s pledge to investigate the events surrounding the attacks marks a significant shift in policy and comes alongside intentions to reverse several initiatives put forth by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The new parliament session was characterized by intense discussions, highlighting the complex political landscape as leaders navigate the formation of a government.
