The coalition agreement of the Likud, Shinui, the National Union, and the National Religious Party was signed in the Knesset this afternoon. The Knesset, with a majority consisting of at least the 68 coalition MKs, is scheduled to vote to approve it this afternoon. The new government will not be sworn in until today or Monday, however, because the final distribution of the Cabinet portfolios has not yet been completed.
