The coalition has postponed the convening of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, delaying the appointment of Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman as its head, despite the committee's temporary establishment being approved. The Likud party, which still controls the Knesset's agenda through Speaker Amir Ohana, conditioned the completion of the appointment process on the postponement of all committee meetings until Monday. In response, Lieberman issued a warning, stating that a transitional government should not make decisions that could drag Israel into war without parliamentary oversight and the full agreement of all security elements. He emphasized the need for consensus among all security bodies.
