Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, has reportedly identified his own candidate to replace Amir Ohana as Speaker of the Knesset. The report, published Tuesday evening by i24NEWS Knesset correspondent Amihai Yarchi, stems from opposition bloc plans to unseat Ohana from the position.
Yisrael Beiteinu has put forward a potential candidate from within the party, operating under the assumption that their party will emerge as the largest in the Knesset and thus be entitled to select the Speaker.

We are not engaged in dividing up positions."
