Netanyahu to offer Yariv Levin communications ministry
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will offer current Tourism Minister Yariv Levin the communications portfolio, Channel 2 says.
Netanyahu was communications minister but stepped down amid a graft probe into reports he tried to do a quid pro quo deal with a major newspaper for better coverage.
He temporarily appointed Tzachi Hanegbi to the post for a period of three months that expires in a four days.
But Channel 2 says the move indicates he was not happy with Hanegbi’s performance.
