‘No secret’ I wanted to stay in Interior, Erdan says

Outgoing interior minister Gilad Erdan, who received no ministerial portfolio, says “it’s no secret” he wanted to stay in office.

“It’s no secret that I wanted to stay in the Interior Ministry, and I asked to merge it with the Public Security Ministry which is suffering from a huge crisis, much like the police,” Erdan says. “I studied the issue and I thought it right to house them under one authority, but my position was not accepted.”

He says he will weigh his next move in the coming days.
