Likud, UTJ heads deny reports, say they’re working together to pass overhaul, draft law

The ruling Likud party and the leaders of United Torah Judaism’s two factions, Yitzhak Goldknopf and Moshe Gafni, issue a joint statement attempting to deny reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking a one-year suspension of all judicial overhaul legislation following a revolt by the Haredi coalition parties.

“As opposed to what is being reported, all coalition heads are working in full cooperation to pass both the [ultra-Orthodox] enlistment law and the judicial reform,” the statement says.
