Likud disputes postpone oath of Israeli government

This development came after several Likud ministers and deputies protested their exclusion from the cabinet, or because they were offered portfolios that they considered marginal.

Both Minister Tzahi Hanegbi and Representative Avi Dichter announced their boycott of the “Knesset” session, because Netanyahu did not offer them a ministerial portfolio, and Ministers David Emsallem and Minister Gila Gamaliel opposed the portfolios proposed to them in the new government.

It has been discovered that Netanyahu has not yet been able to resolve the fate of important ministerial portfolios, as Minister Miri Regev rejects his offer to assume the post of Communications Minister and insists on taking over as Minister of Homeland Security, a position that Netanyahu decided to award the current Minister of Justice, Amir Ohana.

Likud parliamentarians and ministers accused Netanyahu of distributing the bags based on the deputies’ loyalty to him, noting that the disposition of the deputies on the party list, as reflected in the results of the recent primary elections, it was not a decisive factor in the distribution of portfolios.

On the other hand, in a measure that reflects the lack of trust between the two people, and although the decision to postpone the government swearing in reached an agreement between Netanyahu and Gantz, the latter withdrew his resignation letter from the Knesset presidency. , fearing that the decision to postpone the government vote could come as part of a move by Netanyahu, whose goal is to keep him and his party out of government and, instead, form a tight government.

The “Haaretz” newspaper reported that Gantz tried to push with all his might for the new government to be sworn in tonight.
