Israel's new parliament is being sworn in on Tuesday with opponents of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announcing an initial deal on appointments as they try to form a coalition. Gadi Eisenkot, the former army general invited to form a government after last month's election, said opposition leaders had agreed nominations for four major roles in the new Knesset. A full coalition agreement will be a tougher challenge for Mr Eisenkot's bloc, which lacks a majority in the 120-member parliament.
