‘Jewish Home wants Ayelet Shaked as justice minister’

Jewish Home wants Ayelet Shaked to receive the justice portfolio, and also wants her to be sworn in as minister already next week, Channel 2 reports.

Associates of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are quoted as saying they will “not forgive” Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett if he prevents the establishment of a right-wing government.

Sources in the Likud, according to Channel 2, also claim that Bennett seeks the defense portfolio, which Netanyahu wants to leave in the hands of residing Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon (Likud).

Bennett denies the claims.
