Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHousing and Construction Minister Yitzhak Goldknopf, leader of the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party, slips Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a note during a ceremony in the city of Yeruham in front of cameras.
The two met before the event, along with Goldknopf’s chief of staff Moti Babchik, as both UTJ and the Shas party are threatening to bring down the government over its failure to pass a bill exempting yeshiva students from military service.
The ceremony marks the signing of an agreement expanding the number of apartment buildings that will be built in Yeruham.
