Likud MK Israel Katz reportedly storms out of a meeting with incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu is meeting Likud MKs as he allocates the final portfolios in his government.
Katz was favored to get the foreign ministry, either full-time or in a rotation with former ambassador to the US Ron Dermer.
However, Hebrew media reported that Katz was told in the meeting that he would be in a rotation with fellow Likud MK Eli Cohen.
Following the meeting Likud issues a terse statement saying that the foreign ministry position has not yet been decided.
