Opposition moves to strip Netanyahu's bloc of Knesset speakership after inconclusive election

Israel's inconclusive election left no bloc with a governing majority, and opposition parties are maneuvering to replace Likud's Amir Ohana as Knesset speaker.

• Netanyahu's camp won about 53 seats, the Jewish opposition 48, and Arab parties 19 in the 120-seat Knesset, leaving no governing majority.
• The opposition plans to elect a new speaker when parliament convenes November 10, relying on Arab party votes to replace Amir Ohana.
• Netanyahu told allies Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, "we are together and will stay together," reaffirming their partnership.
• US officials told Israel there is no room for another election round, citing an imminent confrontation with Iran.
