Knesset Speaker Ohana Warns Against Arab Party Support for His Replacement
Summarized from Haaretz English by baba
Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana warned that Arab party support might be needed to replace him after the upcoming election, a scenario he finds concerning. While he will not refuse a vote like his predecessor Yuli Edelstein, who resigned rather than comply with a High Court order, Ohana aims to avoid further legal battles. Recent polls suggest opposition parties may need Arab support to form a government, a move opposed by Netanyahu's bloc supporters. The Likud party has a history of campaigning against Arab political involvement.
