As the new Knesset is sworn in, the "Change Bloc" is planning its initial moves, though internal disagreements are apparent. Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman Avigdor Lieberman outlined a proposed order of priorities on his X account Sunday evening, ahead of the swearing-in ceremony. He stated that the correct order of priorities includes replacing the Knesset Speaker, appointing a State Comptroller, legislating a law limiting a prime minister to two terms, and subsequently canceling the "regime revolution" laws. Lieberman sharply criticized anyone suggesting a different order, calling them "idiots."
Lieberman's strong words offer a glimpse into the key issues the leaders of the Change Bloc intend to address following the Knesset's inauguration. However, they also highlight internal disputes regarding the desired sequence of actions.
