Blue and White turns down Likud offer to take Health Ministry post — report

Blue and White turned down a Likud offer to head the Health Ministry, Channel 12 reports.

The centrist party that said it had agreed to enter a Netanyahu government because of the pandemic turned down the deal because it would have required them to relinquish two mid-level ministerial posts, according to Channel 12.

Blue and White is only willing to give up two “minor” ministerial in exchange for the Health Ministry top job, which is currently held by United Torah Judaism’s Yaakov Litzman who said he will be vacating the position to lead the Housing Ministry, Channel 12 says.
