Ahead of the new Knesset's swearing-in, MK Roi Folkman of the Yesh party will lead the preliminary work and chair the Arrangements Committee, responsible for establishing permanent Knesset committees and allocating seats. During discussions, Folkman proposed a representation ratio of one representative for every five Knesset members. However, Likud faction chairman MK Ofir Katz strongly opposed this, demanding a ratio of one representative for every four members. Katz argued that Folkman's proposal unfairly disadvantages larger factions. The Arrangements Committee is the primary body managing Knesset operations during the transition period, and disputes over its composition reflect power struggles among factions preparing for the 26th Knesset's work. Concurrently, Folkman approached Shas and United Torah Judaism with a proposal to replace the Knesset Speaker, with signature collection already underway. Separately, Gadi Eisenkot and Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman recently held a productive meeting, expressing full confidence in their ability to form a stable four-year government.
