Likud and Shas parties sign coalition deal

The Likud and Shas parties have signed a coalition agreement as part of Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc in the new coalition.

Likud negotiator Yariv Levin, set to become the new Knesset speaker, lauds ultra-Orthodox Shas which, he says, was “central in the process to form a government and to bridge the differences” with Blue and White.
