6:33PM IL: Yahadut HaTorah is expected to sign a coalition agreement to enter the government.
The chareidi party will receive authority over the Health Ministry, a deputy ministerial post with ministerial authority. There will not be a minister serving above the deputy minister.
In addition, the party will receive the chair of the Knesset Finance Committee as well as a deputy ministerial slot in the Education Ministry. It appears the deal will be signed Tuesday night or possibly on Wednesday morning after the government is sworn in.

The following is from Arutz-Sheva:
(IsraelNN.com) Incoming Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met with former MK Effie Eitam only an hour before the government’s inauguration began on Tuesday. The two discussed continuing cooperation between the Likud and Eitam’s Achi party.
During the election race, Eitam signed a memorandum of understanding with Netanyahu that said the Likud would promote policies benefiting the national religious community.
