Knesset speaker rejects forming a minority government with support of Arab parties

Israel ·

Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana said on Thursday that relying on Arab parties' votes to form a minority government or to change the Knesset speaker amounts to explicit cooperation with the goals of Israel's enemies. He pointed to suspicions about the funding of these parties and allegations of electoral violations.

The Knesset is Israel's parliament, with 120 members, and its speaker is chosen from among them.
