Yamina MK Nir Orbach has reportedly inked a deal with Likud to receive a ministerial position if the party forms the next government.
According to the report in Israel Hayom, Orbach will not receive a reserved spot on the Likud list ahead of the November 1 election.
In the final days of the outgoing government, Orbach was seen as a weak link in the Yamina party, and was reportedly in talks with Likud while on the brink of defecting from the coalition — and ultimately announcing he could no longer vote with the government.
