The members of the new Knesset will be sworn in on Tuesday. The results of the election were inconclusive, and with no one knowing if Yamina Chairman Naftali Bennett will join a government with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or with his rivals, the anti-Netanyahu bloc’s plans to take power are on hold.
Three dramatic moves were meant to restrain Netanyahu as head of the transitional government, and make it significantly more difficult for him to function: 1) Appointment of an opposition Knesset speaker; 2) Forming a majority in the “arrangements committee” that manages the activities of the Knesset during the transition; 3) Passing a law intended to stop Netanyahu from running for premier again while under indictment.
