After a decade of Likud control in the Ministry of Culture and Sport, the ministry will soon be resilient to Israel. Israel Today has learned that three Knesset members of the party are running for office and one of them will become the minister in charge of Miri Regev.

Currently leading candidates are Hili Trooper, Asaf Zamir and Miki Haimovich. Trooper, who is also appointed Minister of Justice, is connected to the culture and sees the role as important and valuable, in light of what has happened in the ministry in recent years. Asaf Zamir, former deputy mayor of Tel Aviv and who has worked and promoted the culture and sports in the city (led the construction of the Drive Inn in Tel Aviv) is also associated with these issues, and although he has worked with all Tel Aviv teams, Tel Aviv sports enthusiasts remember the boy Who was responsible for the statistics at the mythical Ussishkin Hall, for the Hapoel Tel Aviv basketball team.

It is true that Mickey Haimovich prefers and wants the environmental portfolio, but as part of the Union, no one seems to be able to guarantee her this position, and she may have to settle for the Ministry of Culture and Sport in Israeli politics. NIS 1.6 billion, which should also not fall due to the expected corona cuts. Haimovitz is known to be a burnt fan of Hapoel Tel Aviv, and even accompanied the club on his travels in Europe at the beginning of the current millennium.

One of the major issues facing the minister or minister who will be elected is the issue of the Sports Betting Board, the Toto. The Ministry of Finance headed by Moshe Kahlon removed the council from the Ministry of Culture and Sport and subordinated it to the Ministry of Finance, which receives from the Toto 600 million shekels a year. Now that Toto has become a branch of the Ministry of Finance, the new minister or minister will have to decide whether to return it to the Ministry of Culture and Sports, surely in the face of the difficult year of gambling revenues due to cessation of activity in local and global sports.
