Coalition talks falter as ultra-Orthodox party walks out on negotiations

None

 

Representatives of United Torah Judaism have walked out of coalition negotiations with the Likud after their demand to be reimbursed retroactively for unpaid child-stipends was refused.

 

The party decided before hand that until they would receive answers from the Likud about what they called the 'core issues' of the next government – including issues of state and religion and construction in Jerusalem – they would not continue talks to form the next government.
