Blocked from serving as a minister due to a graft indictment, Likud MK David Bitan is demanding a senior parliamentary post in the next Knesset, with a preference for the speakership, the Kan public broadcaster reports.

The report says Bitan hasn’t made an ultimatum to Netanyahu and that the demand was raised in talks with associates.
