All's well that ends

See?

After days of heated coalition negotiations, Labor and Likud have reached an agreement on the division of portfolios, and the parties are expected to sign the deal on Sunday, officially bringing the Labor party into a coalition government.

According to the agreement, Labor will be granted eight ministries: the Interior Ministry, Infrastructure, Housing, Tourism, and Communications Ministries, two ministers without portfolios, and three deputy ministers. In addition, Shimon Peres will fill the position of deputy prime minister in the Prime Minister's Office. Peres' position is counted as a ministerial portfolio.

Best of all, obnoxious grandstanding twit schoolteacher MK Dalia Itzik was locked out of the room.

Needless to say, I'm not real happy about this (I know, who cares?). But I do hope it will somehow turn out for the best.

Shabbat Shalom.
