Israel's Opposition Delays October 7 Inquiry Amid Unity Government Stalemate
Summarized from Ynetnews by baba
Opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot's bloc is delaying a proposed inquiry into the October 7 attack due to stalled coalition talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The bloc, holding a parliamentary majority, is prioritizing repealing judicial overhaul laws instead. Initial unity government negotiations have shown little progress due to deep mistrust and disagreements over coalition partners and leadership. Legal restrictions during the transition period also limit legislative action, pushing back the October 7 inquiry which requires government approval. Eisenkot faces challenges uniting his allies and forming a government, with key issues like ultra-Orthodox conscription remaining unresolved.
