New list of WZO appointments excludes Yair Netanyahu despite reports of pressure from PM's office

World Zionist Organization leaders are voting on a new slate of executive appointments after a previous agreement collapsed. Notably, Yair Netanyahu, the prime minister's son, is not included in the list, despite reported efforts from the Prime Minister's Office to secure his place. Rabbi Doron Perez is set to become the next chair, with Yaakov Hagoel scheduled to replace him halfway through the term. The current arrangement also allows the World Likud party to add two more members in the future, but sources indicate there is no path for Yair Netanyahu to join, as the Zionist General Council would not approve his nomination. The vote on these appointments is expected to conclude Tuesday morning.
