Reports say that Religious Zionist Party leader Bezalel Smotrich is set to head the Finance Ministry in rotation with the head of the Sephardic ultra-Orthodox Shas party Aryeh Deri, who will start as interior and health minister before taking over the treasury in 2025.
Likud MKs lamented that "Netanyahu has given it all to the Religious Zionist Party and Shas, and left nothing for" his own faction.
In a statement, the Likud said that at the two-year mark, Smotrich will not only become interior minister, but will also receive the Aliyah and Absorption Ministry and the to-be-resurected Settlment Affairs Ministry and the Civil Administration.
Likud said the full distribution of the positions would be announced with the signing of a deal.
