“ Ci pledge to form a national emergency government as soon as possible,” Eisenkot said on arrival at the Knesset, where deputies elected in the legislative elections on 27 October should take an oath around 16:00 locals (14:00 in Lisbon).
Already today, the Yashar!, from Eisenkot, reached an agreement to appoint former Minister Matan Kahana as the next president of parliament (Knesset).
The appointment of Kahana results from an understanding reached after days of negotiations between the Yashar! and the opposition bloc parties.
