(Worthy News) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suffered a major blow on Monday and lost control of the Knesset after his opponents defeated him in a key parliamentary vote.
The Knesset rejected a proposal by Netanyahu’s Likud party to lead the powerful Arrangements Committee, and instead opted in favor of his opponents – a diverse bloc of smaller parties who oppose Netanyahu.
This committee runs the Knesset until a government is formed, sets the legislative agenda, and oversees key appointments. With control over the Arrangements Committee, Netanyahu’s opponents will be in charge of the powerful budget and foreign affairs committees, giving them oversight over spending and security matters.
