Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich agree to extend the tenure of Bank of Israel Governor Amir Yaron for another five-year term.
The decision will be brought for government approval.
Yaron, who is due to end his term on December 23, was expected to make a decision about whether he will continue with another five-year term after the Jewish High Holidays, which ended the day the war broke out with a shock attack by the Hamas terror group.
