Miki Zohar to head powerful Knesset committee

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed coalition chairman Miki Zohar to head the powerful Knesset Arrangements Committee on Sunday morning.
The committee is responsible for allocating who sits where in the Knesset plenum and the representation of parties on temporary Knesset committees until a government is formed.
The Likud received the committee chairmanship, because President Reuven Rivlin gave Netanyahu the mandate to form a government.
