Blue and White MK appointed chair of key Knesset panel
Blue and White lawmaker Avi Nissenkorn is appointed head of the key Knesset Arrangements Committee, a temporary panel that replaces the role of the House Committee in introducing legislation until a new government is formed.
His nomination comes a day after Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz was tasked by the president with forming a government as prime minister-designate, prompting the reshuffling of the parliamentary panel.
The centrist alliance says it informed Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein (Likud) of its nomination of Nissenkorn for the post earlier today, replacing Likud MK Miki Zohar.
