JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed the head of a far-right political party as defence minister of his caretaker government, a spokesman for the premier's right-wing Likud party said on Friday .

"The appointment will be brought to the government for approval at an upcoming government meeting," the Likud spokesman said in a statement. Gantz, who was asked by Israel's president to forge a coalition after Netanyahu failed to do so, has less than two weeks left to form a government. "Appointing a 'temporary placeholder' to the position of Defence Minister is unworthy of the most sensitive establishment in the state," Blue and White said in a statement.
