Israel Swears In Knesset
Israel’s new parliament is to be sworn in Tuesday as opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot tries to form a government and replace caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. President Isaac Herzog tasked Eisenkot with the effort after he received backing from 67 lawmakers, but his four-party bloc holds 48 of the Knesset’s 120 seats, compared with 53 for Netanyahu’s bloc; he has 28 days, with a possible two-week extension, to assemble a coalition. Talks face disagreements over military service and whether to rely on Arab-led parties, which won a record 19 seats combined.
