Why it matters
These appointments grant the opposition bloc greater control over the Knesset's legislative agenda during the period before a government is formed. The Finance Committee oversees legislation related to national budgets and fiscal policy.
Naftali Bennett's party submitted Knesset lists, Yashar stated its goals, and Noam Sohlberg chaired an election review committee.
