The coalition may not be able to pass a law that will enable Shas chairman MK Aryeh Deri to reenter the government if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not offer a significant ministerial position to either of the Likud MKs David (Dudi) Amsalem or MK Danny Danon, senior members of the Likud confirmed on Monday. "It cannot be that, in order to appease the Shas chairman, Netanyahu is going to great lengths, but for senior Likud members he is not raising a finger," the Likud member said.

The coalition officially put forward the so-called "Deri Law" on Monday. The law, which is an amendment to the Basic Law: The Government, says that the High Court does not have the authority to intervene in the appointments of government ministers. It was proposed by all of the coalition members who are not ministers, except for Deri himself.
