Steinitz named as acting PM during Netanyahu’s US trip
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleInfrastructure and Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz is appointed acting prime minister while Netanyahu is in the United States for his upcoming meeting with Trump.
Steinitz will be tasked with calling a cabinet meeting if necessary. But Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz is appointed to call a security cabinet meeting, should the need arise, as Steinitz is not a member.
Katz was appointed acting prime minister during Netanyahu’s visit to the UK last week.
