As I recall, he was appointed to the position two weeks ago on a temporary basis, or as Netanyahu declared "very temporary".
Levin already announced his intention to resign yesterday, and now the move has become official.
According to the aforementioned estimates, Levin will serve as the next Minister of Justice.
Some in the political system see the expected appointment as an indication that Prime Minister-designate Binyamin Netanyahu will go "with all his might" on reforms in the judicial system.
Levin is known as a big supporter of those reforms, among them of course the clause of overcoming.
