Minister Yoav Kish of the Likud party has resigned from his role as Minister of Education under the Norwegian law in favor of designated MK Sasson Guetta. Kish’s resignation is the ninth among Likud ministers to resign under the law. Behadari Haredim reported the agreement between the two politicians. The Knesset members, including Ariel Kellner, Chava Eti Atiya, Amit Halevi, Tsega Malko-Tsganesh, Osher Shekalim, Keti Shatrit, and Moshe Pesal, have replaced the nine resigning ministers. There are two more ministers left among the Likud ministers, who can retire until the Norwegian law is exhausted. Meanwhile, Shlomo Karai, another minister, is allegedly delaying Avihai Bovaron’s entry into the Knesset, causing controversy in the party. Abed Afif is next in line if Karai resigns from the Knesset under the Norwegian law. He is reportedly in talks with Gila Gamliel and May Golan, who is currently refusing to resign due to religious standards.
Minister Yoav Kish resigned under the Norwegian law in favor of designated MK Sasson Guetta. Kish is the ninth minister from the Likud to resign under the law
Minister of Education Yoav Kish of the Likud resigned this evening (Thursday) within the framework of the Norwegian law in favor of the designated MK Sasson Guetta. Kish’s resignation, which was first reported in Behadari Haredim, comes after the two have agreed on this recently.
Kish is the ninth Likud minister to resign under Norwegian law. He joins ministers Miki Zohar, Eidit Silman, Haim Katz, Amichai Shikli, Ofir Akunis, Eli Cohen, Miri Regev and Galit Distal. In their place, the members of the Knesset entered: Ariel Kellner, Chava Eti Atiya, Amit Halevi, Tsega Malko – Tsganesh, Osher Shekalim, Keti Shatrit and Moshe Pesal.
Now there are two more ministers left among the Likud ministers who can retire until the Norwegian law is exhausted. Likud officials claim that Minister Shlomo Karai is debating at this stage whether to resign from the Knesset within the framework of the law, which is delaying the entry of the candidate Avihai Bovaron into the Knesset.
Karai claimed to Likud members: “My voters want me in the Knesset.” Officials in Likud accuse: “Shlomo asks for compensation every evening – instead of resigning.” The sources add: “Avichai gave Shlomo a lot in the primaries. He got all the votes of their group.”
If in the end he enters the closet, the next in line to enter the list will be Abed Afif who maintains contacts with ministers including Gila Gamliel and May Golan. In Likud there is a claim that May Golan sees importance in the entry of a non-Jewish representative into the Knesset.
However, it should be noted that Golan refuses to resign at this stage because she does not have standards within her kosher position.
