Deputy ministership for MK Michael Oren -- report

Kulanu MK Michael Oren is set to be appointed a deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, according to Haaretz political reporter Chaim Levinson.

Kulanu has not yet claimed a deputy ministerial post promised to it under last year’s coalition agreement. The latest appointment for the historian-turned-ambassador-turned-lawmaker, which is not being immediately confirmed by an Oren spokesman, would complete Kulanu’s roster in the coalition.

It follows Sunday’s reshuffle of cabinet posts that saw Kulanu hand the Environmental Protection Ministry to Likud’s Ze’ev Elkin and receive in return part of the Economy Ministry — sans the employment portfolio, which was cut out of the ministry and transferred to Chaim Katz’s Welfare Ministry — for current Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon.

So that’s clear then.
