JERUSALEM, 09 December 2022, (TON): Israel’s prime-minister designate Benjamin Netanyahu struck a deal with an ultra-Orthodox Jewish party on allocating cabinet jobs in a key step toward forming a government ahead of a looming deadline.
The deal announced overnight promises the Shas party five ministerial jobs in Netanyahu’s incoming government, which is expected to be the most right-wing in Israel’s history.
Netanyahu said “we have achieved another step toward forming a government.”
Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party has already signed coalition deals with three controversial extreme right parties Religious Zionism, Jewish Power and the virulently anti-LGBT Noam.
