Kahana Backed as Speaker
Israel’s opposition parties have agreed to divide up key Knesset posts and nominated Matan Kahana to serve as speaker, replacing Amir Ohana. Israel’s public broadcaster reported that 67 members, including 19 Arab lawmakers, would support his election, while the Yashar party submitted more than 61 signatures calling for Ohana’s removal. The agreement also nominated Roy Folkman to head the Arrangements Committee and the Appropriations Committee, Avigdor Lieberman to chair the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, and Liran Avisar Ben-Horin to chair the Finance Committee. The arrangements are to be put to a vote after being discussed this week. In parallel, Gadi Eisenkot is seeking to form an emergency government with the backing of Naftali Bennett and Lieberman, while insisting that Israelis be required to perform military or national service.
