The Knesset Arrangements Committee has approved opposition bloc members Avigdor Liberman and Liran Avisr Ben-Horin to lead the defence and finance committees, marking a significant parliamentary defeat for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government.

This represents a major shift in parliamentary power dynamics, with the Eisenkot bloc successfully taking control of two crucial oversight committees. The defence committee in particular holds significant authority over military and security matters, whilst the finance committee oversees the national budget.

The loss of committee control indicates fracturing support within the Knesset and reflects growing tensions within Netanyahu’s coalition during an ongoing period of military operations and national security decisions.
