Jerusalem, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th Nov, 2018 ) :A key Israeli minister said Monday he would not quit Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition government for now despite sharp disagreements, making snap polls less likely.

Education Minister Naftali Bennett of the far-right Jewish Home said he would give Netanyahu time to correct course on a range of issues.

The announcement was a dramatic climbdown from Jewish Home's earlier threat to leave Netanyahu's coalition if Bennett was not named defence minister.

Netanyahu has refused to give him the post despite a coalition crisis that has been threateningto bring down his government.
