Smotrich's dramatic offer to Winter: Ministerial position in exchange for withdrawing from the race

Minister Bezalel Smotrich has proposed to MK Ofer Winter a ministerial position in the Defense Ministry in exchange for his withdrawal from the Knesset race. The proposal includes responsibility for two administrations: the voluntary emigration administration from Gaza and the administration for enlisting Haredim and integrating them into society. Smotrich addressed Winter in personal terms, warning against splitting the national camp, citing the 1992 elections as an example of a national disaster. Smotrich stated that he is willing to give up a ministerial position from his party's quota for Winter, and that the proposal is intended to allow Winter to influence from within the political system. The article does not include a response from Winter.
