PM now offering Peretz new ‘settlement ministry’ instead of Jerusalem affairs
After getting him to burn his bridges with Yamina in exchange for receiving the Jerusalem Affairs Ministry, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has now apparently downgraded his offer.
Likud sources have told The Times of Israel that Netanyahu is suggesting Peretz get a newly created post of “minister for settlement affairs.”
This would apparently mean turning the Defense Ministry’s Settlement Division into an entire cabinet ministry, with questionable authority and budget.
According to Walla news, Peretz has refused the offer.
