Israel’s newly elected parliament was sworn in on Tuesday, marking a significant political transition as opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot steps forward with plans to build a coalition government. Eisenkot’s party has taken immediate action by proposing the establishment of a commission to investigate the perceived failures that led to Hamas’s attack on October 7, 2023. This inquiry has been a contentious point, with previous calls for such an investigation resisted by the current caretaker Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
The move to set up the commission reflects mounting pressure on Netanyahu’s administration as the country grapples with the implications of the attack and seeks accountability within its leadership.
