Blue and White seeks legal backing for Edelstein ouster

The Blue and White party is asking the Knesset’s legal adviser to issue an urgent opinion on whether Knesset speaker Yuli Edelstien has the power to block a debate on replacing him on Monday, after the Knesset is sworn in.

The letter notes that Edelstein backed a vote on keeping him as Knesset speaker almost a year ago, when the short-lived 21st Knesset was sworn in.
