Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Blue and White party chief Benny Gantz are now meeting to discuss the fate of the health portfolio.

Gantz is seeking the portfolio for his own party after Health Minister Yaakov Litzman of United Torah Judaism decided to leave the post.

In return, Likud is said to be demanding Blue and White give up some of the other portfolios it was promised in the coalition deal.
