On Tuesday, the newly sworn‑in Israeli parliament marked a pivotal moment in the country’s political landscape, with Gadi Eisenkot, the appointed prime ministerial candidate, pledging to reverse many of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s policies.
Eisenkot, who has been tasked with forming a new government, made the announcement as the parliament convened for its first session of the new term. He stated that his administration would pursue a different direction on key issues that had defined Netanyahu’s tenure.
Despite the change in leadership, Benjamin Netanyahu will continue to serve as caretaker prime minister until a new cabinet is formally installed. This arrangement allows for a smooth transition while the new government is being assembled.
Details of the specific policy reversals Eisenkot intends to implement have not yet been disclosed. However, his statement signals a clear intent to depart from the previous administration’s approach on several fronts.
As the new parliament begins its work, observers will be watching closely to see how Eisenkot’s plans unfold and how they will reshape Israel’s domestic and foreign policy agenda.
