Edelstein tells Netanyahu he wants to be Knesset speaker
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDuring a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Likud’s No. 2, Yuli Edelstein, asks him to pressure Blue and White to remove its objections to his re-assuming the position of Knesset speaker.
The position was held by Edelstein from 2013 until earlier this year, when he defied the High Court of Justice on convening the parliament. The post was then taken up by Blue and White’s Benny Gantz.
As part of the coalition agreement, Blue and White demanded Edelstein not be given the position again.
