From Deputy defense minister to step down along with Liberman, office confirms
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDeputy Defense Minister Eli Ben-Dahan will also leave his position later this week following Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman’s sudden resignation, as required by Israeli law, his office confirms.
Once a minister resigns, their deputy must follow suit. This can be overridden by the prime minister, who can opt to reinstate the deputy minister.
Ben-Dahan, of the Jewish Home party, is slated to end his tenure on Friday afternoon unless Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intervenes, his office says.
