Yaakov Litzman to be appointed housing minister — again

United Torah Judaism head Yaakov Litzman will once again be appointed housing minister, Hebrew media reports.

The matter was agreed upon in a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Litzman quit the government earlier this year in protest of the government’s decision to impose a general lockdown during the High Holiday period.

Last month it was reported that Litzman would not return to the cabinet due to opposition from his rabbi. It is not immediately clear what may have changed.
