Knesset legal adviser tells Edelstein he must allow Knesset vote today

Knesset legal adviser Eyal Yinon is calling on Edelstein to reconvene the plenum to allow it to vote on the identity of the next speaker, as per the High Court’s ruling, despite resigning a short time ago.

Yinon tells Edelstein he will still be in breach of a High Court ruling if he fails to allow the vote to go forward.
