Likud MK Yariv Levin is elected unanimously by the party’s lawmakers to serve as the chair of the Likud faction in the Knesset. Outgoing faction chief Miki Zohar did not run for reelection to a second term in the job. Levin served as Knesset speaker until he was replaced by Yesh Atid’s Mickey Levy earlier this week.
