Tzipi Hotovely, Deputy Foreign Minister.

Tzipi Hotovely (Likud) has a goal. The be the first religious woman who serves as a government minister.

While Israel has had female Prime Ministers, female High Court judges, and other women in senior positions, it has never actually appointed a religious woman as minister.

Tzipi Hotovely may be the first – Ken Yirbu.

Hotoveli might receive the Ministry of Science and Technology in the new coalition government.
