Israel's likely new finance minister, Avigdor Liberman, said on Thursday that economic growth and raising the number of ultra-Orthodox Jews in the workforce would be his main goals.
Lieberman's Yisrael Beitenu and seven other parties reached a coalition agreement on Wednesday night that would unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if it is ratified by parliament.
"This coalition will focus mainly on economic issues," Lieberman, a former defense minister, told Channel 13.
