Ahead of Israel's election, due next week, attention is turning to the country's most far-right cabinet minister. According to NPR, he has helped dictate hardline policies toward Palestinians in recent years.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to give the minister a senior position if Netanyahu is reelected. That suggests the minister's influence over government decisions could continue and possibly grow.
The source does not give further details, such as the title of the promised post, specific decisions the minister influenced or any election forecasts, so this report does not cover them.
