Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana announced on Tuesday that a vote to elect the 26th Speaker of the Knesset will take place on Tuesday, November 17th, at 4:00 PM. The decision came after a request from 67 Members of Knesset (MKs). Ohana stated that while he personally opposes the timing and perceived legislative goals behind the request, he will honor the majority's will. He explained that, according to media reports, the request aims to advance legislation that would grant significant power to the Attorney General, thereby increasing the imbalance between elected officials and the civil service. Despite his strong objections to the intentions of the emerging coalition, Ohana pledged to uphold his promise to respect the decision of the majority of MKs, with the plenum scheduled to convene in a week.
