The government has approved — belatedly, according to N12 journalist Daphna Liel — the appointment of Minister Israel Katz and Minister Yariv Levin as substitutes for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his absence from the country. Katz will convene the security cabinet, and Levin will convene the government. The approval came after a delay, with the government vote occurring later than initially expected. As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday at 16:12 Jerusalem, the government had already confirmed that the arrangement would take effect during Netanyahu's visit to the United States. The belated formal approval now finalizes the procedural handover.
