- The Likud party is reportedly planning to delay the election of a new Knesset speaker.

As the 26th Knesset prepares to convene next week, the "change bloc" aims to elect a new speaker, with Yair Lapid currently favored for the position. Leaders of the change bloc have recognized the need for one of their own to head the Knesset, increasing Lapid's chances, while Aizankot seeks to focus on the premiership. Meanwhile, parliamentary blocs are gathering signatures to urge current Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana to convene a special session for the election. The Likud party is reportedly strategizing to thwart this, with Ohana intending to hold the vote just a week after the new Knesset members are sworn in. The Likud hopes internal disagreements within the change bloc will cause further delays, hindering Aizankot's control over the Knesset. The Likud has also devised a backup plan should Lapid be appointed speaker: if a unity government is formed, they intend to amend the law to allow for his removal. Currently, removing a Knesset speaker requires a 90-member majority, a threshold the Likud anticipates struggling to reach in the new Knesset composition. The change bloc also plans to repeal laws concerning the government's legal advisor, the judicial appointments committee, and the police investigations unit, in addition to forming key committees like the organizational, foreign affairs and security, and finance committees.
