Translation by "Jerusalem" dot com - Another blow was dealt to the Israeli government coalition, last night, after it failed to pass ratification in the Knesset on the appointment of Matan Kahane as Minister of Religious Affairs.

And 55 members of the Knesset opposed the appointment of Kahane as Minister of Religious Affairs, compared to 55 in favor, and Idit Silman voted against the position of the government coalition, which risks announcing her resignation from her "Yamina" party led by Naftali Bennett.

The opposition praised Aidit's stance after voting against Kahane's appointment, with opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu writing on Twitter: "Silman, you are a hero!"
