The government voted to approve far-right Otzma Yehudit leader, Itamar Ben Gvir’s, reappointment as national security minister, ignoring the objections of Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, who cited current legal impediments to the move, Report informs via The Times of Israel.

The Knesset is expected to green-light the move tomorrow, along with the return of Otzma Yehudit members Yitzhak Wasserlauf and Amichai Eliyahu to their cabinet posts.
