The Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee — temporary until committee appointments are finalized — will convene tomorrow to vote to approve Likud MK Yoav Gallant as its new head.
Gallant, a former head of the IDF’s Southern Command, was recommended by the Arrangements Committee, which is responsible for forming the 25th Knesset’s parliamentary panels.
The Likud MK is also considered a top contender for the position of defense minister, in which case the committee would find a new chief.
