Unity government swearing in postponed to Thursday due to Pompeo visit

Israel’s new unity government will be sworn in Thursday after being postponed by a day due to the visit of US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, announces Blue and White leader Benny Gantz, who also currently serves as Knesset speaker.

Pompeo will meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Gantz to “discuss US and Israeli efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as regional security issues related to Iran’s malign influence,” the State Department said in announcing the visit last Friday.
