Bezalel Smotrich is to become finance minister for two years under a rotation deal with Shas chairman Aryeh Deri. Faction will also have control over a number of key government ministries and a senior role in overseeing the construction of Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria.
Members claim Netanyahu has divided the portfolios between the Religious Zionist Party and Shas, "leaving nothing" for his own faction.
Within 60 days of swearing in Netanyahu as prime minister, cabinet to pass resolution that would allow expropriating land to finalize status of previously unauthorized communities, with heavy investment in infrastructure and security measures.
Efforts between the two parties to strike a deal will continue on Monday, Likud says, but it is unclear if hot-button issue of defense portfolio has been resolved.
Likud and Otzma Yehudit sign agreement giving Itamar Ben-Gvir the newly created position of national security minister.
Head of the Religious Zionist Party Bezalel Smotrich reportedly drops demand for defense portfolio in exchange for becoming finance minister, paving the way for Benjamin Netanyahu to establish a government.
Israel Hayom reveals Religious Zionist Party leader reportedly conditioned support for new government on bolstering settlement enterprise but Netanyahu responded that Israel must go slow for the next two years, presumably referring to the potential change in US presidents.
According to the two parties pushing these changes, a new law would let communities separate the two sexes even in cases where events and functions are funded by the state.
The Religious Zionist Party criticizes Benjamin Netanyahu for withholding the position from Smotrich, saying it is "strange" he is vetoing someone "who wants a true right-wing policy in security."
Disagreements over the post of defense minister have lead to an impasse in coalition negotiations, with Netanyahu attempting to assuage concerns over the matter, asking his supporters for "a little patience."
