Details
- Tucker cites Tibi’s deputy speakership as the limit of the arrangement under which non-Zionist parties’ implicit support can keep a coalition in power while their MKs are prohibited from serving as cabinet ministers, though they may serve as deputy ministers: “a member of a non-Zionist Arab party, Ahmed Tibi, currently serves as deputy speaker of the Knesset” (PDF p.75). The work gives no as-of date for “currently” later than its 2016 publication.
