if the Haredim prefer it, I'll take the Ministry of Religious Affairs
-- MK Rabbi Gilad Kariv (Labor)
Kariv is set to be Minister of Diaspora Affairs, if the Bennett-Lapid government gets formed and the finals appointments happen according to what is expected. The Haredi parties are upset that Kariv is set to be a minister, and Minister of Diaspora Affairs at that (a position in which he can use to work to strengthen ties between the State of Israel and Reform leadership and communities abroad).
It is a cute thing to say, which is why he gets QotD, but I said it first the other day shortly after the potential appointment became known to the public.
