A dispute has erupted within the opposition bloc over the nomination for Knesset speaker, with two prominent party leaders clashing over their preferred candidates. Gadi Eisenkot, head of the Yashar party, is pushing for a representative from his own party to assume the role. However, Avigdor Lieberman, leader of Yisrael Beiteinu, insists that MK Oded Forer should be appointed.
The Joint List has voiced strong opposition to Forer's potential appointment, reportedly labeling him a "red flag." This disagreement highlights internal tensions within the opposition as they vie for key parliamentary positions. Earlier, on November 1, Lieberman had stated his personal disinterest in the speaker position.
