Mickey Levy of Yesh Atid elected new Knesset speaker
MPs voted Sunday night to replace Knesset Speaker Yariv Levin with Yesh Atid MP Mickey Levy, before the new government is confirmed.
The vote for Levy was passed with the support of 67 MPs after Shas MP Yaakov Margi failed to secure a majority.

He lost a brother in combat and one in a traffic accident.
Levin’s one-year tenure was full of turmoil. He shut down much of the Knesset for much of the year due to the coronavirus pandemic and imposed unprecedented restrictions on the press.
The outgoing speaker said it was an honor to fulfill this role during such a difficult time.
