The Jerusalem Post reports: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to fill vacancies in his cabinet by the time the Knesset adjourns for its extended summer recess on August 3, a senior Likud source in the cabinet said on Wednesday.
The source said Netanyahu realizes too many Likud politicians have been angered by his delaying decisions about portfolios for him to get away with postponing the appointments until October.
A source close to Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon confirmed the timetable and said Kahlon’s Kulanu party was likely to be part of a reshuffle in the cabinet.
