Israel Hayom reports that the Likud has reached understandings with Shas on the issue of the portfolios.

According to the report, the ruling party proposed to Shas to give up the housing portfolio it had requested, but as compensation the planning authority would be transferred from the Ministry of Finance to the Interior Ministry headed by Aryeh Deri. It was also reported that this move might provoke opposition from Moshe Kahlon, therefore the matters are still not closed.

Shas chose not to respond.
