Blue and White said weighing backing Gantz for Knesset speaker amid Likud threats
Blue and White is now considering backing its chairman Benny Gantz for Knesset speaker amid threats by Likud to end coalition talks if a vote for the speakership goes forward later today, according to Israeli television.
It’s not immediately clear why the election of Gantz as Knesset speaker instead of MK Meir Cohen, Blue and White’s candidate, would be acceptable to Likud.
