Hebrew media reports that in an apparent compromise, Likud MK Eli Cohen will only serve as foreign minister for one year, followed by two years for fellow Likud MK Israel Katz, and then another year for Cohen.
When not serving as foreign minister, each of them will serve as energy minister.
The unusual arrangement comes after Katz rejected a two-year rotation, fearing the incoming government wouldn’t last two years, according to Channel 12 news.
