Israel Our Home MK Esterina Tartman to take over portfolio from Isaac Herzog, who will become minister for social affairs. Peace Now: Government should be ashamed of appointing an MK with racist views
Controversial Israel Our Home MK Esterina Tartman will become Israel’s next tourism minister, Avigdor Lieberman’s faction decided Sunday.
Tartman will take over the portfolio from Labor MK Isaac Herzog who will become the minister for social affairs as part of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s government reshuffle.
The left-wing Peace Now movement said the government should be “ashamed” of appointing an MK with “racist views” as tourism minister.
