Le Premier ministre élu Benjamin Netanyahou est parvenu à un compromis avec le chef du parti sioniste religieux Betsalel Smotrich dans les négociations de coalition qui étaient dans l’impasse, dans lequel le portefeuille de la Défense restera au Likoud tandis que Smotrich deviendra ministre des Finances, a rapporté lundi Channel 12.
Smotrich dirige une liste qui a obtenu 14 sièges et plus d’un demi-million de voix.
Bezalel Smotrich was born in
Haspin, a religious
Israeli settlement in the
Golan Heights, and grew up in the
Beit El settlement in the
West Bank. He has ancestors in the Ukrainian town of
Smotrych, whence his name originates.
His father was an
Orthodox rabbi, and Smotrich received a religious education, attending
Mercaz HaRav Kook,
Yashlatz, and
Yeshivat Kedumim. During his short service in the
Israel Defense Forces, he served as a secretary in the Operations Division of the General Staff. He earned a
BA in law from
Ono Academic College, and began a master’s degree in public and international law from the
Hebrew University of Jerusalem, though he did not complete it.
He was certified as a lawyer. Smotrich is an
Orthodox Jew, and is married to Revital, with whom he has seven children.
The family lives outside the
Kedumim settlement in the West Bank, in a house that was illegally built outside of state land and in breach of the settlement’s master plan.
