Minister of Agriculture Uri Ariel (Habayit Hayehudi) said in an interview with Army Radio that his faction is still in discussions with other factions in Habayit Hayehudi on whether to run a joint list or not.
"there are some basic understandings but until the discussions are finished, nothing is final." Ariel added that "We want to run together in the election but if this doesn't happen we'll run alone- we also have other options."
Minister Ariel also said: "I wish to be a minister that effects more important things such as Finance or Justice, but it doesn't look like this is going to happen anytime soon, I'm still in Agriculture and want to continue at the ministry."
