MK Yinon Magal today (Thursday) said that his party would not quit the government should the coalition be expanded, and also revealed the identity of the new Deputy Minister of Defense, a position that was given to Jewish Home in the new government.

"The Prime Minister wishes to expand the coalition in the near future, and this is legitimate," Magal said on Galei Yisrael radio, adding, "It will not come at Jewish Home's expense."

Magal also revealed during the broadcast on his party's decision who fill the role of Deputy Minister of Defense saying, "Eli Ben-Dahan will be the next Deputy Minister of Defense," and when asked if the decision had already been made, he answered, "He is the next on the list, and is the most legitimate and most correct (move)."
