Bennett, Shaked to announce resignations on Monday — report

Jewish Home ministers Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked will announce their resignations from the government tomorrow, Hadashot TV news reports.

The report comes after the two said they’ll give a statement to the press tomorrow from the Knesset at 10:30 a.m.

Bennett has demanded he be named defense minister as a condition for remaining in the coalition after Avigdor Liberman resigned the post last week.

Netanyahu earlier today became defense minister and has said he will keep the portfolio for himself.
