Likud’s Nissim Vaturi replaces Otzma Yehudit MK as chair of committee overseeing offshore gas wealth fund

The Knesset House Committee votes to appoint Likud MK Nissim Vaturi to take over the Knesset Special Committee for Oversight of the Israeli Citizens’ Fund — which until now has been chaired by Otzma Yehudit’s Limor Son Har-Melech, who is resigning from the coalition in protest of the ceasefire-hostage release deal.

The committee oversees the sovereign wealth fund set up by Israel for proceeds from offshore gas extraction.
