Reports said the Eisenkot camp agreed to appoint Israel Beitenu leader Avigdor Liberman as chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security (Foreign Affairs and Defense) Committee. Later reports addressed the background of his reaching the post and the committee's central role in the Israeli parliament, as well as a report attributing to a source in the Change bloc that Liberman requested the chairmanship in order to closely monitor military operations.
One source led with the announcement of the agreement within the Eisenkot camp to appoint Liberman, a second offered background on his path to the post and the committee's place in the Knesset, while the third focused on the Israel Hayom report about Liberman's motives, notably monitoring military operations.
