Gadi Eisenkot and other opposition leaders in Israel have reached an agreement on key parliamentary appointments, naming former minister Matan Kahana as their candidate for Knesset Speaker. The agreement includes opposition leaders Naftali Bennett, Yair Lapid, Avigdor Liberman and Yair Golan. Under the arrangement, Liberman will head the powerful Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee, while Liran Avishar Ben-Horin is set to lead the Finance Committee. The appointments come as Eisenkot works to form Israel's next government after receiving a mandate from President Isaac Herzog. The opposition bloc is seeking to replace outgoing Speaker Amir Ohana, an ally of Benjamin Netanyahu. (PC: HT)
