Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana stated that if a majority exists to replace the government, it is legitimate to do so, emphasizing that "we are a state of law." Ohana made these remarks at the "People of the State" conference hosted by Ynet and Yediot Ahronot. He was responding to a Ynet report about a Likud team formed to potentially recruit defectors from the party led by Izencot. Ohana expressed hope that Izencot's list includes individuals who do not believe Israel kills babies as a hobby or that the Islamic Movement should dictate policy. He asserted that there are no defectors within Likud, adding, "Let Izencot stay with one eye open. The chance is low in our context."
