Culture and Sport Minister Limor Livnat says “Yair Lapid should not hesitate to obtain the Finance Ministry for the benefit of the middle classes he represents, and can easily appoint an external professional for this purpose. As he is bound to his agreement with The Jewish Home, we are committed to our offer of the Foreign Affairs portfolio to our senior partner Avigdor Lieberman.

The Jewish Home and Yesh Atid made it clear that they never presented any portfolio ultimatums to the PM, and look forward to serving the nation, “the negotiations are over essence, not portfolios.”
