Following the government's approval of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposal to appoint Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar as Interior Minister as well, the Likud party is reportedly considering appointing Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana to a ministerial position. Ohana is expected to conclude his term as Knesset Speaker next week, with the anticipated election of MK Matan Kahana from the "Yisrael" party. Among the potential roles being discussed for Ohana are ministries vacated by Haredi parties or the Ministry of Strategic Affairs, previously held by former minister Ron Dermer. A Likud source indicated that a position in the Political-Security Cabinet is also under consideration.
