UTJ is still not joining Prime Minister Olmert’s new government. Talks between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and United Torah Judaism Party representatives MKs Yaakov Litzman and Moshe Gafne ended in a dead-lock today. While the three failed to reach an agreement that would bring UTJ into the government, they did agree to meet again later in the night in another effort to reach a coalition agreement.

Arutzsheva reports 5:00 pm: Wednesday�s second meeting between United Torah Judaism officials towards entering the coalition government adjourned without an agreement.
