United Torah Judaism pledges ‘unequivocal backing’ of Netanyahu

Following fellow ultra-Orthodox party Shas, United Torah Judaism says it will back Prime Minister Minister Netanyahu as its candidate to form the next government and stick with the minority of “bloc” of right-wing religious parties.

“It was agreed to continue giving unequivocal backing to Netanyahu,” the party says in a statement after UTJ leaders Yaakov Litzman and Moshe Gafni meet with the prime minister.
