MK (Yahadut Hatorah) Yaakov Asher on Wednesday 24 Iyar replaced party colleague Uri Maklev on the Knesset Interior & Economic Affairs Committees.
Asher was recently permitted to enter Knesset after Deputy Education Minister Meir Porush agreed to resign as a MK and continue serving as a Deputy Minister. This permitted the entry of another member of the Degel Hatorah faction of Yahadut Hatorah, namely Asher.
Maklev will continue serving on other committee including Law, Child Rights, and the Arrangements Committee along with numerous subcommittees. Maklev also serves as Chairman of the Knesset Science & Technology Committee.
