Sources close to Torah Judaism chairman Yaakov Litzman are examining the possibility of appointing Yair Pines to the position of Minister of Construction and Housing this week. Pines, 40, has been the ministry's director for the past six months, has gained the trust of Litzman and his people.

This is due to the opposition of the Rebbe of Gur to Litzman's return to the government. Litzman's office said that other names are also being considered.



This is an unusual move on the part of Litzman, and he provoked opposition from members of the Agudat Israel faction he heads. Demanded over the weekend to hold a discussion on "division of roles within the faction."

A faction official told Walla!

NEWS that "we will oppose any appointment of a party outside Agudat Israel."



However, Retire and Eichler have no option but to exercise their actual opposition.

Litzman's entourage said in response that according to the internal division within the faction, this is a position that belongs to him, and that it is up to him to decide on the identity of the minister they will replace.

On Thursday, Minister Itzik Cohen of Shas announced that he was resigning from the Ministry of Construction and Housing, just one month after being appointed Minister. Cohen was to serve as "Straw Minister", and Litzman was to be appointed Deputy Minister. Rebbe Magor, Litzman's spiritual patron Announced that he was opposed to his return to government, so the move was halted.



In a letter sent by Cohen, who also serves as a minister in the Ministry of Finance, to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he wrote that "due to the economic challenges Israel is facing these days, and which are expected to accompany us in the near future - including the state budget, the Corona crisis and more."

However, the reason for his resignation stems from Litzman's continued control of the ministry, through his associates.

"Cohen did not agree to continue to be a rubber stamp," a Shas source explained. "He wanted to focus on the Ministry of Finance."



Litzman, who resigned two months ago as Minister of Construction and Housing in protest of the closure of synagogues and educational institutions during the closure, still controls the Ministry of Construction For example, Litzman's assistant, Moti Babchik, is still the ministry's chief of staff, and other associates are in other positions in the ministry.



Over the weekend, Netanyahu informed Litzman that after Cohen's departure, he would have to find a permanent candidate for the position. This is what Netanyahu did earlier this week.
