First publication: Likud Minister of Education Rabbi Rafi Peretz proposed to enter the government without right for the role of Deputy Defense Minister, which will also include powers on the issue of settlement. Rafi Peretz rejected the offer. 

Meanwhile, tonight (Monday) the director of the Jewish House, Nir Orbach, gave an update to the party activists stating that they were "engaged in maintaining the significant power of religious Zionism within the government and the Jewish home within the right. We know that the prime minister wants to fulfill a commitment to Rabbi Rafi who will remain in his position as Minister of Education. "

Orbach also said in the update: "Right now, the decision is that we are facing the opposition, but as the voices of the activists and activists and the national religious public in general do not, there is no clear and unambiguous position on how the public, through the activists, thinks we should act. There is still discussion about how to get an upgraded proposal and thus enter as significant partners in the coalition. " 

Orbach mentioned that "All of these things are joined by the Prime Minister's promise, on the eve of submitting the lists, and in exchange for the high price we paid for the unity of the camp, to leave Rabbi Rafi Peretz in his post as Minister of Education. We know that the Prime Minister wants to meet this commitment."

In his full remarks, the CEO noted that the proposal that is formally put to Fatah's right is: the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Jerusalem and Heritage, the role of Deputy Minister and the role of committee chairman.
