Knesset Speaker Ohana Tells Supreme Court No New Vote on State Comptroller

Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana said in a post on X that he will not hold a repeat vote on the election of the state comptroller. His response was filed to the High Court of Justice in the course of the dispute over the vote.

Ohana wrote that he had decided not to conduct another ballot and added, “The Knesset has already had its say.” The message indicates that he considers the existing parliamentary decision final.

The brief statement comes as part of the legal exchange before the High Court, which had sought a response on the matter. No further details were provided in the post about the timing of the original vote or any next procedural step.
