Gadi Eisenkot, the politician tasked with forming a new Israeli government, pledged on Tuesday to launch an official inquiry into Hamas's October 7, 2023 attacks and reverse many of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's policies as the new parliament was sworn in a tense opening session that saw rival parties trade barbs over the possibility of forming a government with the support of Arab lists.
