Bennett meets with Gantz in the Knesset

Naftali Bennett, who served as interim defense minister during the transitional government, meets with Benny Gantz in the Knesset.

Gantz was sworn in earlier today as defense minister for the next 18 months, after which time he will become prime minister.

The meeting comes ahead of the official changing of the guard on Monday.

Bennett and his Yamina party is now in the opposition after failing to reach agreements on ministerial portfolios with Netanyahu.
