Has Netanyahu Already Decided His Next Cabinet?


According to a report on Yisrael Hayyom news site, a high ranking coalition member has stated that Netanyahu has already set in place his next coalition and is interested in holding elections this coming June.

The source said that the Prime Minister is interested in calling elections and holding them within the next three months, prior to the Attorney General’s decision regarding whether to issue an indictment against Netanyahu or not. “This way, Netanyahu will arrive at the date set forth by the Attorney General’s office, after the nation has already re-elected him.”

The source further said: “Netanyahu decided upon this course of action after he had already decided upon his next government and who will hold which position in his cabinet. Most coalition members will hold the same positions or better ones. Kahlon will remain the Finance Minister and Lieberman will retain the Defense portfolio. Netanyahu can offer Bennett the Foreign Ministry, but Bennett seems to have his eyes set on the Defense portfolio.”
