The Israeli parliament approved the appointments of Israel Katz as defense minister and Gideon Saar as foreign minister, reports the Ynet news portal.
The parliamentary session began immediately after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decree to sack previous Defense Minister Yoav Gallant came into force.
The parliament gave its approval to the reshuffle after signing a coalition agreement with Saar’s party.
A total of 58 members of parliament voted in favor.
