Tense scenes occurred inside the Israeli parliament as newly elected members were sworn in on Tuesday, involving a heated exchange between Sara Netanyahu and former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett during caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's impassioned speech in the Knesset.

Retired general Gadi Eisenkot, Netanyahu's main rival, submitted several bills in the Knesset that proposed greater scrutiny of the PM's handling of events leading to and after the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023 and rolling back some of his most controversial legislations, including one that limited the powers of the judiciary.

Eisenkot, who received the mandate to form the next Israeli government after securing the support of 67 lawmakers, pledged to reverse many of the previous government's policies. His Yashar Party also announced that it had secured enough signatures to hold a vote on replacing Netanyahu-backed Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana.

Netanyahu, who will remain as Israel's caretaker Prime Minister until a new government is formed, launched a sharp attack on Arab parties, the Joint List and Ra'am, who could potentially ally with Eisenkot's opposition bloc to form a new government.

He called it "shameful" and "forbidden" to form a "dangerous government" reliant on Arab-majority parties, labelling them as "terror supporters."

"To those who are thinking of establishing a government with these people, I say: Are you prepared to be dependent on those whose purpose is the destruction of the Jewish state? You would place the fate of our country into their hands?" he was quoted as saying by the Washington Post.
