The Knesset House Committee has narrowly voted to recommend to the Finance Committee it oust United Torah Judaism Knesset Member Ya'akov Litzman as chairman of the panel.

The 13-12 vote came after MK Litzman refused to step down following a disagreement with the coalition government, which then appointed Israel Our Home (Yisrael Beiteinu) MK Stas Misezhnikov to head the committee.
