The story · English
During Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the United States, Defense Minister Israel Katz will temporarily assume the role of acting prime minister specifically for the purpose of chairing cabinet meetings. This arrangement ensures the continuity of government operations while the prime minister is abroad.
Additionally, Minister Yariv Levin will be authorized to convene government meetings should the need arise during Netanyahu's absence. This delegation of authority is a standard procedure to maintain governmental functionality during leadership travel.
