Opposition parties in Israel are planning to replace Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana shortly after the new Knesset is sworn in on November 10. The "change bloc" and Arab-led parties hold a majority and aim to appoint a new speaker on the first day of the new Knesset session. However, Avigdor Liberman's Yisrael Beytenu party is hesitant to cooperate with the Arab parties, potentially complicating the move. Meanwhile, former Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon is advocating for cooperation with the Arab party Ra'am.
