lol... this is pretty funny...

Netanyahu giveth and Netanyahu taketh away

Just today PM Netanyahu successfully broke up Yamina by persuading MK Rav Rafi Peretz to break off and join the coalition by offering him the Ministry of Jerusalem Affairs, even though he had already given it to MK Tzippi Hotovely. Peretz decided to take it, split off from Yamina, created a balagan upsetting many, and the world moves on.

Now, after the fact, Netanyahu wants to rescind his offer from Peretz. His Likud people are upset that it is being taken away from them and are making trouble for him. Netanyahu wants Peretz to give up the promised Jerusalem portfolio and accept a different meaningless portfolio instead that will be created for him. So far Peretz is acting tough, as of now, and refusing to give it up... but at the end of the day, what choice does he really have? Netanyahu does not need him - except  for to create an image - and he already broke off from Yamina so he can't really go back there.. so he's kind of stuck.

He might be able to call Netanyahu's bluff and keep this meaningless ministry, but he does nto really have much of a leg to stand on.

Netanyahu Giveth and Netanyahu Taketh Away. From Peretz and form his own Likud people.
