UTJ chief says he won’t accept Liberman’s bill
United Torah Judaism leader Ya’akov Litzman responds to Netanyahu’s offer for the ultra-Orthodox parties and Yisrael Beytenu to work together to pass a conscription bill by saying he will not accept any law based on Liberman’s proposal.
“We have compromised,” he tells Channel 12 news. “If Liberman won’t accept our offer we will have to go to elections but we cannot budge further.”
