JERUSALEM: Israel´s ex-military chief Benny Gantz, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu´s main rival, submitted himself on Thursday as a candidate for speaker of parliament, a move that could lead to an emergency alliance between the two men. The Knesset, Israel´s parliament, declared on its website that Gantz was the only candidate to succeed Netanyahu ally Yuli Edelstein, who resigned as speaker under pressure on Wednesday. A formal vote electing Gantz is expected later on Thursday.
