The Knesset's Arrangements Committee approved the composition of temporary Foreign Affairs and Defense and Finance committees on Wednesday. These approvals allow parliamentary work to commence on critical issues even before a government is officially formed. The Ra'am party secured representation on the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, a significant move given the sensitive security matters it addresses. MK Yoav Segalovitz will represent Ra'am on this committee, which will be chaired by Avigdor Lieberman of Yisrael Beiteinu. The committee also includes representatives from the Likud, B'Yachad, Democrats, Otzma Yehudit, United Torah Judaism, Shas, and Religious Zionism parties. Simultaneously, the temporary Finance Committee's makeup was finalized. It will feature representatives from the Likud, B'Yachad, the Joint List, Democrats, Ra'am, Yisrael Beiteinu, Otzma Yehudit, Shas, and Religious Zionism. Notably, Ahmed Tibi will represent the Joint List, and another MK from the party will be named later. Ra'am's Iman Khatib Yassin will also serve on the Finance Committee.
