Otzma Yehudit say this evening (Thursday) that there is "great progress" in the coalition negotiations with the Likud on the formation of the next government.

Ben Gabir claims that an agreement has not yet been reached in the dispute over the Ministry of the Periphery, which Shas also demands, and there are differences of opinion regarding the regulation of the young settlement and issues such as security, law and Jewish identity. There is similar progress with the Shas party.

According to the understandings, Shas chairman Aryeh Deri will receive the interior and health portfolios, in addition to other portfolios for party members such as the religion portfolio to which former minister Yaakov Avitan is supposed to return, and two portfolios The parties aim to sign a joint principle agreement as soon as possible.

As part of the talks, the possibility of rotation with the chairman of religious Zionism, Bezalel Smotrich, on the treasury portfolio is still being examined. If the parties finally agree on this, Smotrich will serve in the position for the first two years and then transfer the office to Derai and serve in his place in the interior and health portfolios. So far , the gaps with Smotrich are large and Likud hopes to bridge them with the progress with the rest of the partnership.
