- Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana declared an end to internal power struggles for the top post.
- Yair Lapid, Naftali Bennett, and Gadi Eisenkot are still contenders for Knesset Speaker.

Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana stated that there will be no "clinging to the horns of the altar" regarding the election for the next Knesset Speaker, dismissing media speculation about internal power struggles. He made these remarks in response to inquiries from party leaders.
Currently, the "Change Bloc" has not reached a consensus on a candidate for Knesset Speaker, with Yair Lapid, Naftali Bennett, and Gadi Eisenkot still considered possibilities. However, a significant development in recent talks suggests that no bloc leader intends to insist on a candidate unacceptable to others, which could prevent internal disputes from derailing the process.
This emerging understanding means that if Eisenkot or another MK he supports insists on the position, other bloc leaders will not obstruct the move. The implication is that the election will not fail due to opposition to a specific candidate from within the bloc.
Ohana's comments aim to quell theories about conspiracies and wish the Knesset and the State of Israel success. The article notes that the bloc has not yet achieved agreement on a candidate, but the willingness to avoid internal conflict is a key factor in the ongoing discussions.
