Earlier this month, Lahav Harkov joined the Jewish Community Relations Council for the monthly midday current affairs briefing. This time, the topic was an update on the coalition building taking place in the Knesset in Israel.
Harkov, Jerusalem Post’s senior contributing editor and diplomatic correspondent, explained the current cabinet minister assignments that have been offered by incoming Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to his partners in the government, as well those positions that Knesset members are still vying to fill. Harkov provided insights into why certain parties work to ensure their members hold specific leadership positions in the government.
During this off-the-record briefing, participants were able to ask Harkov questions.
The Israel Today series is presented by the Jewish Community Relations Council of the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater, Simon Family JCC, and Community Partners, including all local synagogues and Jewish agencies.
