The government has unanimously approved the appointment of three new ministers- Yisrael Beiteinu party leader Avigdor Liberman as the new Defense Minister, his party member Sofa Landver as Immigrant Absorption Minister, and Tzachi Hanegbi from the Likud party as minister without portfolio in the Prime Minister’s Office.

This follows a compromise between Naftali Bennett and Benjamin Netanyahu that solved the political dispute over the ways the security cabinet operates. According to the deal, a temporary military attache will be appointed to update the ministers on security information.

IDF and police forces conducted searches in Nablus overnight, during which they discovered arms and ammunition hidden in houses. Four rifles and two pistols were found, along with many weapon parts, magazines and a large amount of ammunition. The weapons were seized, and 11 terror operatives who held them in their homes were arrested.

Six more Palestinian terror suspects were arrested during the night throughout Judea and Samaria and taken for questioning.

A planned vote over confirming Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman as Defense Minister that was scheduled for Monday, has been postponed due to the continued demand by Education Minister Naftali Bennett and his Jewish Home party for a military attaché to be appointed to the security cabinet for providing ministers with intelligence during war.

Earlier on Sunday, Jewish Home party members said that they were prepared to force new elections over the issue.

IDF and police forces arrested overnight nine Palestinian suspects of terrorist activity and participating in violent riots directed at Israeli civilians and security forces. The suspects, all from Judea and Samaria, were taken for questioning.
