Freshly sworn-in Member of Knesset Noam Tibon, representing the "Achva" party, has outlined a plan for a new government, suggesting Gadi Eisenkot as its leader for a four-year term. Tibon, who expressed excitement about his new role, emphasized the need for a stable, long-term government focused on critical national issues.

Tibon stated that upon taking office, the immediate priorities should include replacing the current Knesset Speaker and forming a government capable of enacting significant reforms. He believes a stable government should operate with a clear work plan, concentrating on state security and establishing a constitution based on the Declaration of Independence.

Drawing parallels to the U.S. Constitution, Tibon advocated for a concise Israeli constitution with few, yet fundamental, articles that are difficult to amend. He expressed confidence in the professional capabilities of the new Knesset members, many of whom have connections to the events of October 7th and the ongoing war, believing they are motivated to work rather than engage in disputes.

Addressing the possibility of a narrow government, Tibon commented, "Many things can be done," suggesting flexibility in its formation. He highlighted the unique composition of the current Knesset, featuring many new members with personal ties to the war, which he believes will make for an interesting historical record.
