Joint List backs move to replace Knesset speaker, paving way for vote on new government | JPost |

Installing a new Knesset speaker from the nascent coalition would mean a vote on the new government could take place as soon as Monday.

Earlier Thursday, Bennett met with Yamina MK Nir Orbach, whose reluctance to back the move to oust Levin threatened an expedited vote on the new government.

Orbach, however, told Bennett that he would do everything in his power to facilitate the new coalition and informed Netanyahu that he was not interested in his overtures.
