Likud removes MK Hazan from committees

The Likud party removes scandal-ridden Likud MK Oren Hazan from the Knesset’s House and Foreign Affairs and Defense Committees.

The punitive measure comes after Hazan skipped a plenum session on Monday night, resulting in a loss for the coalition in a vote on a bill submitted by Likud MK Anat Berko.

Likud MK Amir Ohana will replace him.
