Prime Minister Netanyahu is expected to carry out a series of changes in government ministries, according to a report by journalist Shahar Glik. The report states that Netanyahu plans to use his authority in a transitional government to appoint ministers without Knesset approval, a move partly aimed at softening opposition within Likud to changes in the party's primary system.
The report comes amid ongoing internal tensions within Likud over the mechanism for selecting the party's Knesset list. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Netanyahu has been navigating demands from various party factions regarding the primaries and ministerial appointments. The transitional government status grants the prime minister broader authority over ministerial appointments than during a regular government.
The specific ministries targeted for changes and the exact timeline remain unspecified in the report. The internal Likud response to the planned moves is not yet clear.
