Shas signs coalition agreement
Shas signs a coalition deal with the Likud this evening.
Party leader Aryeh Deri is to become economy minister, succeeding Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett who is expected to take over the education portfolio. Bennett’s party has yet to sign a coalition agreement.
The party will also receive the Religious Affairs Ministry, but it is still unclear which MK will receive the portfolio. The party is also expected to receive another ministerial post, two deputy ministers, and the chairmanship of the Knesset’s Education Committee.
