While Yahadut Hatorah Chairman Yaakov Litzman announced earlier this week he is unwilling to sit in a coalition with the Yesh Atid party, MK Uri Maklev announced he would not rule out bringing in Yesh Atid to expand the coalition.

Maklev told Kol Berama Radio �We do not rule out anyone unlike others who did [rule us out]�.

�We know what is needed and we do not look at the person. We are flexible regarding this. We are calling for as large a coalition as possible� he added.

Earlier in the week Litzman admitted that a coalition of only 61 is problematic and there is a need to bring in other parties. He stated that Yahadut Hatorah is open to additional parties entering the coalition but not Yesh Atid.
