Israeli Opposition Vows Swift Ouster of Netanyahu, Path Uncertain

France24 World · world

Israeli opposition leaders, including Gadi Eisenkot, have pledged to quickly form a new government and remove Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from power. However, the path forward remains unclear due to internal divisions within the bloc, particularly concerning potential alliances with Arab lawmakers. Arab-majority parties secured 19 seats in the 120-member parliament, while Eisenkot's bloc won 48 seats and Netanyahu's camp obtained 53. The opposition faces the challenge of uniting diverse factions to achieve their goal.
