The Yashar party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, along with other parliamentary blocs, submitted a series of legislative proposals to the Knesset on Tuesday. The proposals include establishing a formal investigative committee into the failures surrounding the October 7, 2023, attacks, limiting the tenure of the prime minister, and repealing legislation from the outgoing government aimed at weakening the judiciary. The party announced these submissions coincided with the opening of the 26th Knesset session and parallel moves by Eisenkot's bloc to secure key Knesset positions during negotiations for the next government.
One bill calls for an official committee to investigate the failures that preceded and accompanied the October 7 Hamas attack. Another proposes amending the Basic Law: Government to set a maximum term for the prime minister. The party also put forward proposals to nullify six laws and amendments enacted by the outgoing government, which they described as part of a "coup against the system of government." These include repealing changes to the Attorney General's status and powers, amendments to the Basic Law: Judiciary, and specific telecommunications and police laws, as well as provisions regarding the prime minister's inability to perform duties.
In a parallel move, former Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid announced his intention to submit three bills. These include establishing a civil legal framework for registering partnerships between couples, enshrining the Israeli Declaration of Independence in a basic law, and capping the prime minister's term at eight years. Lapid stated, "We will continue to be the voice of the liberal public in Israel within the Knesset, and we will work to reform the state."
These legislative efforts align with understandings reached between Eisenkot and leaders of opposition Zionist parties regarding the distribution of key Knesset positions. Matan Kahana from the Yashar party has been nominated to head the Knesset. The Yashar party announced it had gathered over 61 signatures from Knesset members to replace the current Speaker, Amir Ohana. Eisenkot also declared his intention to form an emergency government amidst ongoing negotiations for the next government, which are marked by disagreements over its composition and political and legislative agenda.
