Tzipi Hotovely made history last month, when she became Diaspora affairs minister.Not only did she become the first-ever Orthodox woman to serve as a cabinet minister, she also gave the much-maligned ministry a boss devoted to nothing but the Diaspora.In an interview with The Jerusalem Post at her office at the capitals Malha Technological Park, Hotovely revealed that she is seeking to remain in the post after the next government is formed.That is not something to take for granted, because the Diaspora Affairs Ministry has been joined together with other ministries in recent years and has not been given a full-time minister.Hotovely says Post readers around the world should see her appointment as a commitment by her Likud government to serve the Diaspora better. But in order to do that, she says, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud must be allowed to form the next government.To that end, she reached out to Post readers in Israel who have the right to vote in the March 2 election, explaining how the Likud could win, form a government and put an end to the political stalemate.Hotovely indicated that she has learned a lot since angering Diaspora Jews with her November 2017 comment complaining about them never sending their children to fight for their country.
