The "Change Bloc" of Israeli parties is preparing to remove Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana immediately after the upcoming elections, potentially with the support of the Arab Joint List. This plan was discussed and agreed upon in a meeting of representatives from the Change Bloc parties, who were strategizing for the post-election period. The move aims to allow the bloc, including the Gush Izunke, to control the Knesset's agenda and pass legislation such as the "Defendant's Law," which would prevent individuals indicted for a crime from forming a government, specifically targeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed concern about the election results in a recent interview with i24NEWS, stating that the race is too close to call and that victory depends on increased voter turnout. He described the situation as a "tie" and emphasized the need for a clear decision, warning against the potential for external interference in the elections, including the creation of security incidents.
