Members of Israel's new Knesset were sworn in and the Knesset held its first meeting

China News Service, November 11. According to the "Times of Israel" report, on November 10, local time, new members of the 26th Israeli Knesset were sworn in, and the Knesset held its first meeting that day. The new parliament consists of 120 members.

According to reports, caretaker Prime Minister Netanyahu said in his speech that Iran is "trying to restart the nuclear weapons process" and the only way to eliminate this "threat" is to "overthrow the Iranian regime." He once again called on all political parties to form a "national unity government" with him. Netanyahu's right-wing bloc lost its majority in the parliamentary election held on October 27.

According to reports, the four-party alliance relied on by Integrity Party leader Gadi Esenkot only has 48 seats, falling short of the 61-seat majority required to form a government. On the eve of the opening of the Knesset, Eisenkot said he was committed to forming a "national emergency government" as soon as possible without abandoning his principles.

According to previous reports, Israeli President Herzog officially authorized Eisenkot to form a new government on the 8th. According to Israeli law, Esenkot has 28 days to form a new government, and can apply for an extension of up to 14 days if necessary.

The Israeli media Ynet News Network issued an analysis saying that the prospect of Essenkot’s cabinet formation is not optimistic. If ultra-Orthodox parties are brought into the cabinet and external support from Arab parties is obtained, although a majority of seats can be gathered, it will be difficult to resolve relevant legislative disputes; if a minority government of only 48 seats is formed, it will be difficult to operate stably due to the opposition of right-wing partners and some potential allies in the camp, and it is well below the 61-seat threshold. Both parties currently lack interest in forming a unity government with Netanyahu.
