Israel's High Court canceled May 13 the bonus system put in place by Culture Minister Miri Regev for artists performing in West Bank settlements.
The ruling came on the Likud member's next-to-last day on the job; on May 14, the new national-unity government is to be sworn in and the culture portfolio is to go to a Blue and White member under the deal struck April 20 between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Blue and White leader Benny Gantz. It was unclear May 13 whether Regev would occupy another Cabinet post in the new government.
