Israel's new 120-seat Knesset, its parliament, was sworn in on Tuesday, with neither Netanyahu's bloc on 53 seats nor Eisenkot's on 48 holding a majority. Gadi Eisenkot, the former army chief leading the opposition, was asked by President Isaac Herzog to build a coalition. Arab-led parties secured an unprecedented 19 seats, potentially enabling them to determine who governs.
