Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana stated at a "People of the State" conference hosted by ynet and Yediot Ahronot that it would be legitimate to replace the Prime Minister if 61 votes in the Knesset supported such a move. Ohana dismissed the possibility of not bringing a no-confidence vote to the plenum, asserting, "We are a state of law." He criticized a politician, identified only as "Winter," for not joining forces with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claiming this jeopardizes the entire national camp.
