  "summary": "The opposition bloc in Israel's Knesset has secured a majority in its first vote, paving the way for its proposed lineup to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Eisenkot-led bloc, which includes Arab parties, received 67 seats in the October 27 elections, while Netanyahu's bloc won 53 seats. The Arrangements Committee, a temporary committee that organizes the Knesset's work at the start of a new parliamentary term, will be chaired by Yashar MK Roy Folkman from the Yashar party. The committee will consist of 22 MKs, with seats allocated proportionally to each party's representation in the Knesset. Opposition parties have secured nine seats on the committee, which will discuss and finalize the composition of key committees during its deliberations.",
