Eisenkot Appoints Roy Folkman as Chair of Knesset Organizing Committee

In depth

Eisenkot appointed Roy Folkman, chairman of the Yashar! faction, as chair of the Knesset's organizing committee. The appointment was made after the president tasked Eisenkot with forming the government. Folkman, who previously served as chairman of the Kulanu faction, is returning to the Knesset after a seven-year absence.

The organizing committee will hold significant powers until a new government is formed, and during the coalition negotiations it will be one of the most important centers of power in the Knesset. During this period, the change bloc also seeks to advance parliamentary moves.

Folkman told Arutz 7 that they are striving for agreements, but that we have a clear majority. He said he hopes the Knesset will not be concerned only with politics, and that we have made enough TikTok videos.
