As the Knesset continues to wait for the results of the voting on candidates for the Judicial Selections Committee, some MKs are hinting at what may come in the aftermath of today’s vote.

“The result doesn’t matter but rather the fact that Netanyahu gave [his] word and violated it at the last moment,” opposition Yesh Atid MK Boaz Toporovsky tweets.

MK Tally Gotliv of Likud, who refused coalition entries to drop out of the race in a bid to force another vote, predicts opposition candidate Karine Elharrar will be selected, though it isn’t clear what she’s basing this assessment on as the counting of ballots continues.

“I hope I’m wrong,” she adds.
