Sources close to MK Betzalel Smotrich reacted on Arutz Sheva to a Likud proposal according to which Smotrich would accept the housing portfolio with the Israel Land Administration and the Settlement Division instead of the Justice Ministry.

"The demand has been and is still on the education and justice portfolios, and there's no reason not to stay and accept them, and the Settlement Division will be part of Betzalel Smotrich's office and will continue to be under the National Union."
