PM discusses Health Ministry with UTJ
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNetanyahu finally meets with representatives of ultra-Orthodox parties Shas and United Torah Judaism as he works to create a coalition.
Netanyahu tells UTJ chief Yaakov Litzman and MK Moshe Gafni that he appreciates their efforts as deputy health minister and chairman of the Knesset Finance Committee during the 18th Knesset, and that he would like to see them assume these posts again, the Ynet news site reports.
However, the PM does not officially offer them the positions, as Kulanu chief Moshe Kahlon is angling for control of the Finance Committee post.
UTJ lawmakers on principle refuse to assume full ministerial posts.
President Rivlin is expected to officially task Netanyahu with forming a coalition today.
