Two lawmakers from far-right parties are set to take over key parliamentary committee chairmanships in the Knesset, following the departure of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party from coalition roles. Zvi Sukkot of Religious Zionism will lead the Education Committee, while Limor Son Har-Melech of Otzma Yehudit is slated to head the Health Committee, pending approval from the Knesset House Committee. The appointments come after months of political deadlock, with Shas vacating its positions in protest over stalled legislation exempting yeshiva students from military service. Both committees have faced neglect since Shas's exit, prompting concerns about government functionality and opposition attempts to fill the gaps. The new chairs have pledged to address pressing issues in education and healthcare, with Son Har-Melech emphasizing the need to improve medical services across Israel.
