I don't see any changes to the ministries from last weeks reports at first glace - is there anything I am missing that has changed? Eight female ministers, one Arab minister (Frej), one Ethiopian-Israeli minister (Tamano-Shata), there will be a Shaked->Sa'ar->Lapid->Bennett circular rotation if things survive 2 years, Lieberman has treasury, and Gantz in Defense.

It is certainly a strange day for those on the left to look forward to the swearing-in of Naftali Bennett. When is the vote expected?

[Hnv1]

Eli Avidar quits YB but will vote for the government. Didn’t get a big portfolio so left

Should be around 19:30 Israel time

[Hnv1]

Some Ra’am nobody is threatening to vote against, this might require some acrobatics by Ta’al. Suspicious conduct by the police around demolitions in the Negev today.


I’m old enough to remember 1990. It would be hard to see the confidence vote fail.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

The Knesset session is underway.

Would be hilarious if the entire Bibi bloc got ejected and the confidence vote passed like 60-6-1.

[America Needs R'hllor]

I read a bit. There was an intensive turmoil and screams that prevented Bennet from finishing his speech, Minister Gallant from Likud said he "never saw a thing like this". Religious Zionism people led the screaming and attacks at first, Smotrich was removed from the hall. Then Likud MKs and Ministers joined.

Can’t prevent them from voting.

Government of change v. The barbarism bloc

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

The Knesset sure is...hectic...

Screams? Uhhhh.....

[jaymichaud]

Likud/RZ/Shas MKs need to be domesticated.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Likud MKs need to be domesticated.

And preferably housebroken.

What's going on right now?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

The “Today at the Knesset” page on knesset.gov.il just says “aaaaaaaaaaaaaa”.

Well that’s accurate right

[Hnv1]

Electing a new speaker atm. Confidence votes follow

I feel Gantz isn't finished politically. He will have 3-4 years as defense minister, 2 without Bibi above him. He might still surprise us

Edit: we have a new Speaker, MK Miki Levi (Yesh Attid). He will now run the confidence vote

[Hnv1]

One of Ra'am's MK is AWOL. Ta'al left the area.

Corrected.

Ta'al and Odeh ended up voting against after they saw Al-Haroumi (Ra'am) abstained
