Israel får ny regering i kväll

Israels nya regering svärs in i kväll.Tillfället måste skjutas upp med två timmar och det visar på hur svårt det varit för Netanyahu att få ihop den nya regeringen som kanske ingen egentligen är nöjd med. Netanyahu har beslutat att hålla utrikesministerposten för sig själv för att använda den som lockbete för att möjligtvis få med arbetarpartiet i regeringen vid en senare tidpunkt.

 As of Thursday afternoon, it was announced that Transportation Minister Israel Katz and Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon would continue their posts. Yuval Steinitz was appointed Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, Head of the Committee of Nuclear Energy, and member of the security cabinet. He was also set to carry on coordinating strategy for the Iranian threat.

Ophir Akunis was appointed minister in the communications ministry.

Netanyahu's No. 2 in the Likud, outgoing Interior Minister Gilad Erdan, said he would not enter the cabinet if he did not receive the Foreign Ministry or both the Interior and Public Security portfolios. Netanyahu made clear his intention to keep the Foreign Ministry for himself in hopes that Zionist Union leader Herzog might join the cabinet later on.

Haim Katz was appointed welfare and social services minister, and Bennie Begin strategic affairs minister.

Netanyahu chose Miri Regev for the post of Culture and Sports Minister  and Danny Danon was chosen to be the Minister for Science and Technology.

MK Yariv Levine was appointed to the post of Tourism Minister. Levine will also be the minister in charge of coordinating between the cabinet and the Knesset.  

Likud MK Gila Gamliel was appointed to the post of Minister of Pensioners, students, young people and gender equality.

Likud MK Silvan Shalom was appointed Interior Minister on Thursday evening. Likud MK Benny Begin was appointed minister without portfolio.
