Tibi says Joint List would vote against Gantz being Knesset speaker
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAmid reports Blue and White could put forwards its chairman Benny Gantz for Knesset speaker, MK Ahmad Tibi says the majority-Arab Joint List would vote against this, likely depriving Gantz of a majority.
But he tells the Arrangements Committee that the Joint List will vote for Blue and White MK Meir Cohen to be speaker.
“We’re not part of the efforts toward a unity government,” Tibi says.
The Joint List recommended that Gantz form the next government after the March 2 elections, stressing it was doing to see Netanyahu replaced as prime minister and that it would not back a Likud-Blue and White unity government.
