Defense Minister Naftali Bennett (Yamina) was asked at a press conference today why he has not been invited to attend the meeting that will be chaired by the prime minister tomorrow regarding the reopening of the education system.
"You'll have to ask Netanyahu that," he responded. "Since I spoke with Netanyahu last week, I have had no contact with him. The Health Ministry portfolio has not been offered to us. We will only enter the government if we are able to influence [its policies]," he insisted.
Rabbi Yakov Litzman (UTJ), who has been Health Minister for over 10 years, has asked to be transferred to the Ministry of Construction and Housing, leaving the question open regarding his replacement.
