There is no grounds to prevent Avishar Ben Huri from heading the Finance Committee

An opinion article argues that there is no legal or ethical obstacle to appointing MK Liran Avishar Ben Huri as chair of the Finance Committee, despite claims of a conflict of interest due to her husband's business activities. The article distinguishes between conflict-of-interest rules in the executive and legislative branches, and cites legal precedents supporting her eligibility.

An opinion article argues that there is no legal or ethical restriction preventing MK Liran Avishar Ben Huri from serving as chair of the Finance Committee, whether temporarily or for the entire term of the 26th Knesset. Claims of a conflict of interest arise from her husband, Itai Ben Huri, being a partner in a large strategic consulting firm that provides services to major economic entities. The article distinguishes between conflict-of-interest rules applicable to the executive branch and those applicable to the legislative branch, citing the Knesset's ethics rules and the precedent of the Deri-Pinhas rulings, according to which a Knesset member can hold any position within their term, including committee chair. The conclusion is that there is no formal provision prohibiting the appointment, although disclosure obligations or recusal from managing discussions on specific topics may be required.
