Knesset Speaker Amir Ochana announced on Tuesday evening that a vote to elect the 26th Knesset speaker will take place on Tuesday, 17 November at 16:00, following a request signed by 67 members of Knesset. This represents a significant political development as the majority seeks to remove Ochana from his position.

Ochana criticised the motion, arguing it is designed to advance legislation that would strengthen the powers of the government’s legal adviser, but stated he would respect the will of the Knesset majority. The announcement comes amid broader political tensions following the swearing-in of Israel’s 26th Knesset.

The scheduled vote represents a major political challenge to the current Knesset leadership and reflects ongoing instability in the new parliamentary session, with the motion receiving support from a substantial majority of legislators.
