Netanyahu to address powerful Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee at 10 a.m. tomorrow, the committee’s spokesperson says.

Before a closed-door briefing, Netanyahu will make comments to the press.

The announcement comes amid reports that Netanyahu is planning to retain the defense portfolio for himself after Avigdor Liberman’s resignation which went into effect today, despite Jewish Home party leader Naftali Bennett’s demand for the position.
