Israel’s new parliament was inaugurated, and moves toward forming a government led by Eisenkot (アイゼンコット), under lawmakers who had taken the oath of office, gained momentum. The president said he would make every effort to avoid another election.
Israel’s new parliament took the oath of office in Jerusalem on the 10th, establishing a governing framework in which former military chief of staff Eisenkot (アイゼンコット) leads the parliament as head of the centrist Yashar Party, which is seeking to form a government.
In the general election on 27 October, neither Eisenkot (アイゼンコット) nor Netanyahu (ネタニヤフ) secured the majority needed to run the government. If Eisenkot (アイゼンコット) is unable to take power, Netanyahu (ネタニヤフ) is reportedly likely to be given an opportunity. If both fail, a new general election could be held.
President Herzog (ヘルツォグ), who presided over the swearing-in ceremony, told the lawmakers that they should make every effort to avoid another election and urged compromise even among rivals.
