Israeli Justice, Education Ministers Form New Party Ahead of Snap Vote – Reports
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Israeli Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked and Education Minister Naftali Bennett said Saturday they were quitting the Jewish Home party to form the New Right Party, media said.
During a press conference, the orthodox education minister and the secular justice chief said they wanted to build a "true partnership between secular and religious" Israelis, according to the Times of Israel.
