A debate and vote to elect a successor to Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, will take place on Nov. 17, Ohana announced on Tuesday.
The announcement follows a request signed by 67 Knesset members seeking an early vote to elect a new speaker. The debate will begin at 4 p.m., when the Knesset plenary convenes.
Ohana said he strongly opposed the emerging coalition’s intentions but would respect the wishes of the majority of lawmakers, Israeli media reported.
