Shaked says would be like ‘surrender’ if Blue and White gets justice portfolio in unity government
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYamina MK Ayelet Shaked fumes over a report that Likud agreed the Justice Ministry will go to Blue and White in a unity government of the rival parties.
“The right-wing camp’s ceding of the justice portfolio to the left-wing camp is like a letter of surrender,” Shaked, a former justice minister, writes on Twitter.
According to a Channel 13 report yesterday, Likud has agreed a Blue and White lawmaker would be justice minister in a coalition they form. Blue and White MK Chili Tropper is a likely candidate for the post, the report said.
Blue and White is believed to be seeking the justice portfolio for itself due to concerns that a Likud lawmaker could use the post to delay Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s trial on corruption charges.
