AG: High Court can enforce ruling that Knesset must choose new speaker

Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit tells the High Court of Justice it can enforce its ruling that a vote on a new Knesset speaker be held today as it sees fit.

The High Court will meet at 8 p.m. to determine whether Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein is in contempt of court for refusing to hold the vote on a new speaker today and instead announcing his resignation, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
