The Likud party votes to approve leader Benjamin Netanyahu’s request to appoint MK Yariv Levin as the temporary Knesset speaker beginning tomorrow.
Levin, who served as speaker in the past, is expected to quit before the new government is sworn in. At that point, Likud is slated to have selected a permanent candidate for the post, and Levin is expected to receive a ministerial position.
