Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to fire Aryeh Deri from the government tomorrow (Sunday). The move was made in coordination between the two. This was after Deri himself was preparing to come to the yeshiva.
In the meantime, the confrontation in the government regarding the evacuation of the outpost yesterday continued, and in the Shabbat news it was announced this evening (Saturday) that the ministers of religious Zionism intend to boycott the government meeting, so political officials claim, in protest of the non-respect of the coalition agreements.

At the same time, government officials claim that religious Zionism knew about the establishment of the outpost in advance. But sources in religious Zionism vehemently deny this and say that they only heard about it in the media. At the same time, Netanyahu announced that following the confrontation between the ministers on the issue, the discussion has not yet been scheduled.
The Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gabir intends to demand at the yeshiva tomorrow the rapid evacuation of the illegal Arab settlement Khan Al Ahmar. To convey uniformity in enforcement against outposts that were established illegally. These things come when the state is supposed in a week or so to update the judges of the High Court regarding the progress of the evacuation of the place.
Knesset member from Likud Danny Danon commented on the program Everything is Political in Khan 11 that Deri is still serving as minister and reassured: “The verdict will be respected. Period. This is not in the discussion at all.” Danon added in his words on the program with Yaara Shapira and Suleiman Masveda that he assumes the resignation will take effect in the coming days.
Deri’s party is still considering ways to continue his path in the government. The Shas withdrew from the demand to appoint the chairman of the party as an alternate prime minister, and wish instead to promote a move to amend legislation that would allow him to be appointed as a minister – without judicial supervision. Two sources in the party told this news that the desire is to pass legislation that would allow the government to bypass the judicial review that would prevent Derai from serving as minister.
