Labor, Religious Services Ministries, to be transferred to Levin post-haredi party withdrawal

Justice Minister Levin will be temporarily appointed as minister of labor, religious services, and Jerusalem and Israel heritage, while Prime Minister Netanyahu will also become minister of interior

The government is expected to approve the temporary appointment of ministers to recently vacated offices on Sunday, after the withdrawal of the haredi (ultra-Orthodox) parties from the coalition.

According to the proposal, Justice Minister Yariv Levin will also be appointed as the labor minister, the religious services minister, and the Jerusalem and Israel heritage minister.

Levin’s role as interior minister will temporarily be transferred to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Haredi factions agree to appointments

The decision requires Knesset approval, and the coalition has coordinated with the haredi factions to ensure they will vote in favor, a commitment they confirmed in light of progress on the draft law.

The appointment is expected to be brought to a plenum vote as early as Monday.
