Against the background of Orbach's announcement of resignation from the coalition and the attempt to establish an alternative right-wing government in the current Knesset with a new hope, the right and the Likud, Israel Today has learned that the Likud is setting a threshold condition for negotiations on the cancellation of Amichai Shikli.
The opposition will now try to bring Saar to the negotiating table for the formation of a right-wing government in the current Knesset. Saar currently refuses to form such a government, but the opposition will try to create a trust mechanism with guarantees that they will build a stable coalition On his latest moves, and as long as there is an alternative right-wing government in the current Knesset, they demand the passage of legislation that would cancel Shikli's secession from the right-wing faction. This is a condition that Likud faction chairman Yariv Levin personally upholds.

As you may recall, in light of Bennett's request, the Knesset committee announced Shikli as a retiring MK, against the background of his votes against the coalition. This means that Shikli will not be able to run in the next election on any list in the current Knesset.
Last night, Shikli filed an appeal to the Jerusalem District Court against the Knesset committee's decision to separate him from the right-wing faction. To refer to: To whom must a Knesset member be loyal - to the public who sent him or to the head of his party?

"Are Knesset members entitled to vote in the Knesset according to their opinion, belief, conscience, party platform and promise to their electorate, or are they merely puppets operated by their faction leaders?" Shikli asks in the opening of his appeal to the district.
Shikli filed the appeal through attorneys Alon Pomerantz and Shimrit Carmi Naamat of Lipa Meir & Co.
If the court does not reverse the Knesset decision, Shikli will have to form a party led by him if he wants to run in the next election.
This is a move that the opposition fears, due to the risk of "burning" votes to the right-wing bloc.
Alternatively, if Shikli does not run for Knesset, he could be appointed a professional minister on behalf of the Likud.
