MK (Yahadut Hatorah) Yaakov Litzman insists he was approached twice by Yesh Atid party officials making an offer to cut a deal with the chareidi parties. He told Maariv that denials from Yesh Atid are not accurate and he is willing to submit to a polygraph exam to prove he is telling the truth providing Yair Lapid does the same, for he insists no deals were put on the table. Litzman explains he was first approached between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and the second time was quite recently.

In his interview with Maariv, Litzman did not hide his pleasure over the collapse of the coalition, explaining it has been two years of chareidi bashing that has harmed many individuals and families.
