The opposition bloc, led by Gadi Eisenkot, aims to oust Ohana, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party. Arab party leaders expressed feeling insulted for not being included in the opposition bloc's negotiations.
Why it matters
The move is part of a broader effort by Netanyahu's rivals to block his judicial reform agenda and gain control of the Knesset. The opposition leaders have not yet reached an agreement on forming a government, but they are taking steps to consolidate their power. This development comes as Eisenkot's bloc races to secure a mandate to form a government.
