Following weeks during which the government had only interim Health and Interior Ministers, after Shas head MK Aryeh Deri was forced to resign due to a Supreme Court ruling, permanent ministers are to be appointed within the next few days, according to a report in Israel Hayom.
Interim ministers may only serve for three months according to Israeli law. On Wednesday, a special Knesset session will be held to approve the two new appointments. Deri will apparently have the final say on the identity of the two new ministers, and the most likely scenario is that Shas MK Moshe Arbel, who is deputy Health and Interior Minister, will be appointed a full minister for both portfolios.
