Sources in the Jewish Home make it clear that if the education portfolio is to be given to United Right, it will be given to Rabbi Rafi Peretz.
"The chairman of the Jewish home, Rabbi Rafi Peretz, demanded the education portfolio during negotiations, and the prime minister's choice is explicitly to offer Peretz the education portfolio because he views Peretz as the leader of religious Zionism."
"The prime minister has full confidence in the chairman of the Jewish home to keep the education portfolio and the cabinet membership as the replacement of Naftali Bennett in the leadership of religious Zionism. It is not clear why Smotrich whom we went shoulder to shoulder throughout the negotiations, chooses to attack the prime minister instead of drawing conclusions, "the sources said.
