Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana spoke in an interview with Ido Tauber about the question of who will succeed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Ohana expressed his hope that Netanyahu will continue to lead Israel for many more years and criticized those who are already focusing on Netanyahu’s political succession. He emphasized that he himself is "far from that" and does not wish for Netanyahu’s departure.

Ohana also discussed the upcoming Likud party primaries, clarifying that while the current race is not a contest for the party leadership, the results could highlight some of the figures who might run for the Likud leadership in the future. His remarks come amid ongoing political speculation about Netanyahu’s eventual successor and internal party dynamics.

Ohana’s comments reflect a desire to maintain party unity and respect for Netanyahu’s leadership tenure, while acknowledging the importance of the primaries in shaping the party’s future leadership landscape.
