Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, is preparing to officially assume his new role as chairman of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday. Lieberman described the current period as "tense and nerve-wracking" due to security and political developments. He emphasized the committee's importance in overseeing the defense establishment and preventing military actions for political purposes. Lieberman views this appointment as the first step towards forming a stable government with a strong coalition that will lead Israel into a new era. The Knesset's Arrangements Committee, chaired by MK Roi Folkman, approved the establishment of the temporary Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee last Wednesday and recommended Lieberman for its leadership. The committee is considered one of the most crucial and sensitive in the parliamentary system, especially at this time.
