'A good government will be sworn in within days'

Religious Zionist Party leader Bezalel Smotrich has agreed to walk back his demand to become defense minister in exchange of the finance portfolio, paving the way for Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu to finalize the make-up of a governing coalition, according to reports.

The Religious Zionist Party will have authority over policies in Judea and Samaria as they relate to civil administration and the enforcement of laws in mainly uninhabited areas.
Netanyahu is likely to appoint Likud MK, former major general Yoav Gallant as defense minister. Arye Deri will, subject to his legal standing, become deputy prime minister and receive the aliyah and religious affairs portfolio.
