The Likud Party opened coalition negotiations with the haredi-religious United Torah Judaism Party on Sunday evening.
Minister Yariv Levin, who is heading the Likud team, congratulated UTJ for its growth following the recent election and noted, "In the previous coalition negotiations, they were the first to sign the agreement, and I hope that we will uphold this tradition. We see you as loyal partners. We worked very well for a long time in the previous government, and we also managed to overcome disputes. I am sure we will succeed in finding solutions that will also bring us to a stable government this time."
