Deri offered Transportation Ministry — report

Shas’s Aryeh Deri was offered by Netanyahu to head the Transportation Ministry, Channel 2 reports. Deri has not yet responded to the offer.

The report says that while Deri has his eyes set on the Interior Ministry, Kulanu’s Moshe Kahlon is seeking the Building Planning Committee, which is housed under the Interior Ministry. The Transportation Ministry was therefore probably extended as a compromise to Deri, and until he answers, Netanyahu cannot seal a coalition agreement with Kahlon.
