Deputy Minister of Religions Matan Kahane and his close entourage have in recent days turned to Meretz members in a last ditch attempt to consolidate a majority in the Knesset for his re-election as Minister of Religions.
Kahana and his entourage claimed that if this majority was not achieved, his appointment would expire and control of the ministry would pass to the CEO and Deputy CEO of the ministry.
If Khanna fails to be appointed minister, as soon as next Monday he will lose his title as Deputy Minister of Religions and return to being a full member of the Knesset.
At the same time, Bennett is also expected to lose his position as Acting Minister of Religions and the entire Yamina Party will lose control of the Ministry of Religions.
Meretz officials expressed anger at Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked's obstruction of Yossi Beilin's appointment as chairman of the Nature and Parks Authority, an appointment that was revealed in Israel today, and demand in exchange for their support the removal of the veto on this appointment.
According to the legal opinion given, it is not possible to extend the tenure of Bennett and Kahana in the Ministry of Religion.
