Member of Knesset Moti Yogev (Jewish Home-National Union) called on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Thursday "to appoint a full-time minister, who will deal with - even during the transition government [period] - the many problems that exist in the welfare world."

Writing on Facebook following the death of a 17-year-old Jerusalem girl from a drug overdose, Yogev said, "The government is on a break. Life is not."
