Liran Avishar Ben-Horin set to chair Knesset Finance Committee amid conflict-of-interest concerns

Liran Avishar Ben-Horin of Naftali Bennett's Beyachad party is slated to lead the Knesset Finance Committee. Her husband Itai Ben-Horin's consulting firm represents major corporations, raising conflict-of-interest questions. The appointment was agreed on November 10, 2026.

An opinion piece by Dana Yarkechi from i24NEWS attacks the intended appointment of Liran Avishar Ben-Horin to the position of chair of the Finance Committee on behalf of the "Together" party (the Eisenkot faction). The writer claims this is a clear conflict of interest, since Avishar Ben-Horin's husband, Itai Ben-Horin, is a prominent public relations figure representing large companies in the economy, including the Strauss conglomerate, the Fox Group, and the Bar Association. The article notes that Avishar Ben-Horin declared her intention to "fight monopolies," while her husband represents them. The "Together" party responded that she will act according to the law and proper administrative rules, including conflict-of-interest arrangements.
