Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Center-rightNeutral tone
A new Knesset can enact legislative changes before a coalition government is formed, according to Gershon Baskin. Exit polls indicate a majority against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, but coalition talks may be complicated by the inclusion of Arab parties. The Knesset can elect a speaker and begin legislating, with a priority on investigating the October 7 failures, even while coalition negotiations proceed.
