Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday announced a deal with a far-right party which agreed to withdraw from elections next month in exchange for a pledge to legalise medicinal cannabis.
Zehut, a libertarian Jewish nationalist party, was also promised a ministerial portfolio in exchange for not putting up candidates for the September 17 legislative elections, its head Moshe Feiglin said.
At a joint press conference, Netanyahu told Feiglin: "I see you as a minister in the next government and I see you as a partner with a common vision."
