    Bennett: There is no political alliance with Litzman

    Bennett made it clear that he has great respect for Deputy Minister Litzman, but there is no political alliance between them regarding the conditions for joining a future coalition.

    Rejects the rumors: Jewish House Chairman Naftali Bennett clarified Sunday that there is no political alliance between him and Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman (United Torah Judaism), in regards to a future coalition.

    "I have a great appreciation for Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman, but between us, there is no Brit Achim, these summaries and others about joint entry into a future coalition, are false" Bennett clarified in an interview with Kol Brahama radio.

    Recently, assessments have been published that Minister Bennett's excellent relations with Deputy Minister Litzman are based on a conclusion that UTJ and the Jewish House will not enter into a future coalition, without each other.

    During the interview, Minister Bennett referred to the beginning of the academic year in the ultra-Orthodox sector and said that he intended to fight ethnic discrimination.

    "My goal is very clear: zero discrimination in educational institutions in Israel, there is no such reality that a child will be discriminated against solely because of his Mizrahi background," he said.
