Eisenkot Seeks Shas, UTJ Support to Oust Knesset Speaker Ohana, Replace with Incoming Yashar MK
- Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot plans to replace Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana before swearing in a new government, seeking to control the process during the 26th Knesset opening session on Tuesday.
- Following the presidential mandate granted Sunday after 67 MKs recommended him, Eisenkot received his charge from President Isaac Herzog; allies fear Ohana could delay the confidence vote, allowing Likud to pressure lawmakers.
- Seeking ultra-Orthodox support, Yashar faction chair Roy Folkman invited Shas and United Torah Judaism on Monday to support a formal request to replace Ohana, aiming to meet the 61-lawmaker requirement.
- Should he receive signatures from at least 61 lawmakers, Ohana stated on Thursday that he would schedule a vote within a week. He has publicly pledged not to obstruct the majority's wishes.
- With the 26th Knesset swearing-in set for Tuesday, Folkman is expected to chair the Knesset Arrangements Committee. Eisenkot intends to finalize coalition agreements later this week regarding guiding principles and role allocations.
