Gantz said to go to Edelstein’s office, ask him to reopen plenum

In extraordinary scenes, Blue and White leader Benny Gantz has reportedly walked over to the Knesset speaker’s office and asked him to reopen the plenum to allow a vote on his replacement today.

There are conflicting reports as to whether Blue and White will petition the High Court to force Yuli Edelstein to allow a vote today, should he refuse.
