The cabinet is set to approve the replacement of Eli Cohen with Israel Katz as foreign minister on Sunday, in accordance with a rotation agreement inked last year when the government was formed.
Cohen, who has served as foreign minister since the current government was sworn in, will replace Katz as energy minister for two years before swapping again for the final year of the government’s term in 2026.
Both ministers will remain members of the security cabinet. They are expected to switch roles on January 1.
