The United List party has joined Yisrael Beiteinu in demanding the immediate replacement of Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana and an urgent vote for his successor. The United List intends to submit a formal petition to Ohana, calling for a session to elect a new speaker for the 26th Knesset. This move aligns with a similar demand previously made by Yisrael Beiteinu leader Avigdor Lieberman, who advocated for a vote during the swearing-in ceremony.
Speaker Ohana rejected these initial demands, stating he will not hold the vote without an official request signed by at least 61 Knesset members. He clarified that the typical procedure for electing a Knesset speaker occurs after a government is formed, but an exception can be made if a majority of Knesset members submit a signed request to expedite the vote. "If the majority asks to hold such a discussion, I will schedule it for an earlier date, no later than a week," Ohana stated.
This situation compels political leaders to secure broad parliamentary support, potentially requiring cooperation with Arab parties or religious factions. The article notes that this could lead to internal disputes within blocs due to past disagreements over engaging with Arab political forces. The article also mentions other recent political developments, including the first arrest in the 'electoral jihad' case, Arab parties' support for Gadi Eisenkot for prime minister, and Mansour Abbas's refusal to label Hamas as terrorists.
