Likud MK Moshe Passal and Shas MK Uriel Busso have reportedly pulled their candidacies for a post on the Judicial Selection Committee ahead of the vote.
This leaves a total of six candidates still vying for the two spots.
Generally, politicians cut deals in advance of the vote so that only two candidates remain on the ballot, although Likud MK Tally Gotliv has repeatedly said she will not drop out no matter what. The opposition has united behind Yesh Atid MK Karine Elharrar, while the coalition promised the Otzma Yehudit party a spot on the panel.
