Blue and White seeking to elect Knesset speaker today despite Edelstein’s action
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBlue and White may try to push to hold a vote on the next Knesset speaker today despite Yuli Edelstein’s resignation, under the justification that delaying will still mean contempt of court, Channel 12 news reports.
Edelstein ended the Knesset session after announcing his resignation, and noted it would only take effect in 48 hours.
Channel 12 says the Knesset’s legal advisers believe the resignation cannot prevent the vote from taking place today as mandated by the court.
Meanwhile the Movement for Quality Government says it will appeal to the High Court of Justice to allow the vote to go forward today.
