A coalition deal is believed to have been finalized after Yamina's Naftali Bennett supposedly came to an agreement with Yesh Atid's Yair Lapid.
Labor and Yesh Atid announced on Friday that they had finalized a coalition agreement.
Michaeli is expected to be appointed transportation minister and MK Omer Bar-Lev will be public security minister, a post once held by his father, Haim Bar-Lev.
The third portfolio given to Labor will be Diaspora Affairs. Labor has not revealed its candidate for the third portfolio, but it could be MK Emilie Moatti or MK Gilad Kariv, who is a Reform rabbi. A new department for advancing religious pluralism would be created in the ministry.
The agreement includes steps to strengthen the police force, stop crime in the agricultural sector and fight traffic accidents.
Michaeli would be a member of the Judicial Selection Committee, which will also have right-wing representatives from Yamina and New Hope. Six judges are set to be appointed to the Supreme Court over the next four years.
