Final queries ahead of the swearing-in

Speaker Yuli Edelstein calls the House to order.

Yaakov Litzman (UTJ) and Dov Hanin (Hadash) ask whether there are coalition agreements — including verbal agreements — that have not been made public.

Isaac Herzog (Labor) also asks about unpublished agreements — between the Likud and Yisrael Beytenu.

Edelstein refers the questions to the Knesset’s legal adviser. He is immediately told that relevant such agreements must be made available before the vote on a new government. He says Minister Erdan has made all such relevant agreements available — Erdan nods his confirmation.

Are there are any relevant verbal agreements, Edelstein asks?

Erdan: All relevant understandings have been made public.

Herzog protests that Likud and Yisrael-Beytenu are not a single faction, and that this affects agreements between them.

Yisrael Beytenu head Avigdor Liberman responds that “these are two parties, but a single faction.”

Yesh Atid makes clear that it has no unpublished agreements with Jewish Home. Jewish Home confirms.
