Member of Knesset Dodi Amsalem joins the government, this after receiving the position of minister in the Ministry of Justice, minister for regional cooperation and the minister who liaises between the government and the Knesset - a position that Yoav Kish has held until now. It is not yet clear what Amsalem's powers will be in the Ministry of Justice.
Earlier this week it was published in "Israel Hayom" that in the talks held by Knesset member Dodi Amsalem in recent days, with senior officials in Netanyahu's entourage, he gave them an ultimatum: either his case will be resolved this week or he will remain out of the government until the end of the term.
Last week, MK David Bitan said that if Amsalem's demands are not met, "Netanyahu will pay a political price."
Amslam in a message to Netanyahu: "I am not humiliated"
About a month ago Amsalam harshly attacked Netanyahu when dozens of Likud activists were gathered around him, Amsalam poured out his heart: "The one who decided not to give me the position of Knesset Speaker is the Prime Minister.
I asked him, explain to me why I can't be in the position?
He told me stories of Ali Baba, who is afraid that I will settle accounts with the opposition."
"Of course I will come to an account," the Knesset member fumed.
"What does he want? That we send them bouquets of flowers? There was humiliation aimed at me, I told the Prime Minister - 'You were chosen in first place and I respect that, but don't forget that I was chosen in fourth place'. The same audience that chose you - chose me. I am not asking for any Something that I don't deserve according to the order. I deserve it. You gave Rival Levin Achla, you gave Galant security, Eli Cohen and where is David Amsalam? You skip over me? We Sephards will never humiliate us, no one, ever. No one will humiliate the people of the Mizrah Not even a Prime Minister from Likud."
