In an unprecedented move, Minister of Religious Affairs Matan Kahana will return to the Knesset. The move was coordinated with Prime Minister Naftali Hunt's office and its purpose is to help stabilize the coalition after the retirement of MK Idit Silman from the right.

The meaning of Kahana's resignation from the government and his return to the Knesset is that MK Yom Tov Kalfon from the right, who entered the Knesset through Norwegian law, will be fired and his membership in the Knesset will be terminated.

Political journalist Amit Segel explains: MK Kalfon's dismissal has one meaning: The Yamina Party (Bennett) thought there was a chance of Kalfon would defect, so they decided that the Minister Kahana would "step down" and return as a MK, thus getting rid of a threat to themselves. Legal but stinks!
