Haredi rabbis push off meeting on UTJ future
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Agudath Israel Council of Torah Sages, a central faction in the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party, is pushing off today’s meeting in which leading rabbis were slated to discuss whom they would recommend for prime ministership, the Haredi website Kikar Hashabat reports.
They are expected to convene within the next few days.
Both the Zionist Union and Likud called UTJ leader Yaakov Litzman in an attempt to win his support.
Litzman says that the UTJ’s price is a rolling back of laws enacted by the last government aimed at bringing Haredim into the army and work force.
The UTJ’s Degel Hatorah faction is also meeting to decide on whom to recommend.
