Former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett repeatedly interrupted caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the opening ceremony of Israel’s newly elected parliament, the Knesset, creating a tense confrontation on the chamber floor.

As Netanyahu addressed lawmakers at the start of the post-election session, Bennett challenged him repeatedly from his seat over an investigation into the October 7, 2023 attack. At one point, Bennett shouted across the hall asking what had become of the inquiry into the October 7 events, though Netanyahu offered no immediate response, according to Al Jazeera.

The exchange underscored fresh political friction between the two former leaders, keeping accountability for government actions before and after the October 7 attack at the center of Israel’s national debate.
