      Hanegbi, Akunis to Split Roles


      MK Tzahi Hanegbi will serve as head of the Knesset Committee, while MK Ofir Akunis will be the deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, in charge of connecting the government and Knesset. After one and a half years, the two will switch positions.

      The two were informed of their new positions Sunday as Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu handed out portfolios in the next government within his party.
