Netanyahu cancels Jewish Agency meeting after Herzog nomination

In an unusual move, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has canceled a Monday meeting with Diaspora Jewish leaders and the heads of the Jewish Agency.

The move is seen as an expression of Netanyahu’s dissatisfaction with the Agency’s decision earlier today to invite Labor MK Isaac Herzog to be the next chairman of the organization, instead of Netanyahu’s favorite for the post, Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz.
