Senior Likud MK Yisrael Katz said in closed conversations, “I will not join the new government if I do not get a senior position”, Kan 11 News reported on Tuesday. Katz responded to the report and said, "That did not happen, [but] I intend to hold a senior position."

Meanwhile, it appears as though the division of ministerial portfolios in the new government will be as such: Aryeh Deri will receive the post of Deputy Prime Minister, along with the Interior Ministry with expanded powers. It is possible that Deri will also receive the Transportation Ministry, and his party will receive the Religious Services Ministry, the Negev and Galilee Ministry, and alternatively the Welfare or Health Ministries.
