Associates of Likud MK David Akunis say Likud members allied with opposition parties to block the appointment of Ayoub Kara as state comptroller, and that Kara is demanding the continuation of the voting process already underway, according to journalist Dafna Liel.
Associates of Likud MK David Akunis told journalist Dafna Liel that Likud members have allied with opposition parties to torpedo the appointment of Ayoub Kara as state comptroller, according to a Wednesday evening report on Channel 12's N12 news platform. The associates said Kara is demanding the continuation of the voting process that has already begun in the Knesset. The report did not name the Likud members involved or specify how the alleged coordination with the opposition unfolded. The comptroller appointment has become a flashpoint within the Likud and between the coalition and opposition in recent weeks. No official confirmation from Kara or Akunis has been published at this time.
