What to expect: The schedule for today’s government swearing-in
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHere’s a rough schedule of the dramatic day ahead in the Knesset, in which Benjamin Netanyahu is set to resume his longtime role as prime minister after being replaced 18 months ago.
11 a.m. (all times are Israel time, GMT+2): Netanyahu and outgoing Prime Minister Yair Lapid will kick off a pre-swearing-in session in the Knesset plenum.
2 p.m. The Knesset will hold a vote on appointing Likud MK Amir Ohana as Knesset speaker.
Shortly after the Knesset speaker vote, the 120 Knesset members will vote on swearing in Israel’s 37th government.
After that, the government will be sworn in.
The ceremony is expected to wrap up by 5 p.m.
