Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked former Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon to head the country's economic recovery efforts from the coronavirus pandemic, Channel 12 News reported Wednesday.
Kahlon would work alongside coronavirus commissioner Professor Ronni Gamzu, the report said.
A source familiar with the move told Channel 12 News that the offer was an effective vote of no confidence in Finance Minister Israel Katz, and could be an attempt to ease public ire over the government's economic handling of the crisis.
Both Kahlon and the Prime Minister's Office denied the report, Channel 12 News.
