The Degel Hatorah faction — part of the United Torah Judaism party — says it will back any decision Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu makes regarding the judicial overhaul.

The party says that while it supports the judicial overhaul, it would also back efforts to reach a national consensus.

“Degel Torah, as a party that has conducted itself with public responsibility since its founding, will not be an obstacle to the Prime Minister carrying out the necessary actions to reach understandings and agreements as extensively as possible, which will lower the height of the flames and prevent the continuation of the rift in the nation,” the statement says.
