Yaakov Asher Denies Progress in Talks with Netanyahu's Opposing Bloc

In depth

United Torah Judaism chairman MK Yaakov Asher denied reports of a dramatic advance in talks with his party and of an exchange of drafts between the sides. According to him, the reports are false and tendentious, and there is no truth in them whatsoever.

Asher clarified that the talks United Torah Judaism is holding with the left-wing bloc to form a government led by Gadi Eisenkot are continuing, and that, according to him, no dramatic change has occurred in them. The reports of an exchange of drafts on the conscription law, he said, were based on inaccurate information.

Asher stated that the advice coming from other parties is based on the same false reports, and added that the reports of progress in the talks have no basis at all.
