Interior Minister Moshe Arbel, who submitted his resignation today along with the other ministers from his Shas party, has withdrawn his resignation letter, Hebrew media reports.
The move is tactical, as Arbel merely intends to appoint Israel Uzan, a Shas insider, as ministry director general, the reports say. Arbel will then quit his post again.
