The Special Committee for Bridging Social Gaps in the Periphery voted to approve the recommendation of the House Committee to appoint MK Michael Malkieli (Shas) as chair of the Special Committee for Bridging Social Gaps in the Periphery.

The Special Committee for the Rights of the Child voted unanimously to approve the recommendation of the House Committee to appoint MK Kathrin Shitrit (Likud) as chair of the committee, replacing MK Eliyahu Revivo (Likud).
MK Shitrit said, “This field is very close to my heart. We will do an excellent job for the children, who are the mainstay of Israeli society. We don’t have to wait for them to grow up; there is a lot to do. We hope that we will continue to do this until the end of the [Knesset] term.”
The Internal Affairs and Environment Committee voted unanimously to approve the recommendation of the House Committee to appoint MK Yitzhak Kroizer (Otzma Yehudit) as committee chair.
