Leaders of the opposition bloc are privately acknowledging that another round of elections is far more likely than the formation of a functioning government, according to conversations among members of the bloc's various factions.
Despite the grim forecast and the absence of a majority to form a coalition, the opposition is making ongoing efforts to preserve the bloc's framework and coordinate at least joint parliamentary moves as the 26th Knesset opens.
Two main objectives are at the center of internal coordination among the factions: a joint effort to replace sitting Knesset speaker Amir Ohana, alongside an attempt to formulate bills to repeal the judicial reform laws advanced in the previous term.
