DescriptionAfter its stellar accomplishments in the elections, Shas, which placed third after Kadima and Labor with 13 mandates, plans to demand the Interior and Housing portfolios during coalition negotiations with Prime Minister-designate Ehud Olmert.

In addition to the two portfolios, Shas has one more, slightly surprising, request: The Communications portfolio.

According to senior officials in the party, the Orthodox party hopes to become “Likud with a kippa.” Encouraged by their success at the polls, Shas wants to “absorb, as much as possible, the potential pool of Likud voters.”
