Orly Levy-Abekasis signs coalition deal with Likud, will be made minister

Gesher’s Orly Levy-Abekasis signs a coalition deal with the Likud party, cementing her position in Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc in the new government.

Levy-Abekasis will have a new portfolio created for her and will serve as the “Community Strengthening and Advancement Minister.”

That is not the official English name, mind you, which we don’t yet have, but a loose translation of the original Hebrew.
