Opposition eyes ousting Knesset Speaker
Opposition leaders aim to replace Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana when new Knesset is sworn in, even without majority needed to form government
Assessment
The opposition is moving to depose Amir Ohana as Knesset Speaker at the swearing-in of the new Knesset, a maneuver that does not require the 61-seat majority needed to form a government. This signals an early power struggle over procedural control of the chamber. The outcome will test whether the opposition can coordinate effectively on a single candidate and whether coalition discipline holds under pressure.
