A senior United Torah Judaism official told ynet that "Yuli Edelstein has one goal - to topple the government. He himself admitted that he lied to Haredi representatives, and we also know that he was in contact with left-wing elements." The source added that "Now, when the Haredim are demanding Likud fulfill its commitments to them, they are turning their backs. If Likud doesn't know how to put Yuli in his place, then the Haredim are not part of this government."
