Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party intends to bring two key legislative proposals before the newly formed Knesset. The party, led by Eisenkot, has submitted a total of eight legislative initiatives. Two of these are central: one to establish a state commission of inquiry into the failures preceding the October 7th attacks, and another to limit the tenure of the prime minister. The party also proposes that the Knesset itself should have the authority to establish such an investigative commission, independent of government approval.
Additionally, Yashar has introduced six other bills aimed at reversing decisions made by the previous Netanyahu government. These include changes to the status of the government's legal advisor, the process for appointing judges, broadcasting regulations, the mechanism for declaring a prime minister incapacitated, and returning the police misconduct investigation unit from the Justice Minister's control.
The proposal to limit the prime minister's term would be enshrined in the Basic Law: Government. The specific duration of the term limit is not detailed in the initiative's description. However, Eisenkot had previously pledged during the election campaign to set an eight-year limit for the prime minister and to form a state commission of inquiry into the October 7th events within two weeks of the government's formation.
Speaking at a faction meeting before the Knesset's 26th session began, Eisenkot described the current period as one of Israel's most challenging, encompassing security, strategic, economic, and international relations issues.
