About This Trend
Boaz Bismuth is an Israeli politician and a member of the Knesset.
According to Haaretz, he is expected to be appointed as the new chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, replacing Yuli Edelstein. This decision comes after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his support for Bismuth's candidacy. Reports indicate that Netanyahu's backing of Bismuth is part of a larger effort to reshuffle committee chairmanships, with Hanoch Milwidsky expected to take over as chairman of the Finance Committee. Netanyahu's support for Bismuth has sparked controversy, with some critics arguing that it is an attempt to consolidation power within the Likud party.
