Knesset Hebraicizes “coalition” and “opposition”
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Knesset has officially renamed the “opposition and “coalition,” Hebraicizing the words to “Negda” and “Yahda” respectively.

The change, which will manifest itself in signs outside the Knesset plenary and on official Knesset documents, comes after the Academy of the Hebrew Language designated the new words.
