The heads of the Degel Hatorah and Agudat Yisrael parties in the haredi-religious United Torah Judaism faction, Deputy Minister Yaakov Litzman and Knesset Member Moshe Gafni, met on Monday for a first working meeting and agreed to hold another meeting in the coming days following fears of splitting the faction ahead of the next elections.
The Degel Hatorah Party said that the two would hold talks in order to reach agreements for the upcoming elections, which will be presented to the parties' institutions and to the decision of their rabbis.
