(JERUSALEM POST) -- The Likud denied a Monday evening report claiming that prime minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu had agreed to halt electricity generation across Israel on Shabbat, among other promises made to the haredi (ultra-Orthodox) United Torah Judaism faction as part of coalition negotiations.
N12 reported that the Likud reached an agreement with UTJ which included several controversial clauses that opposition MKs said were in violation of the status quo, with Prime Minister Yair Lapid saying Netanyahu is "leading us into becoming a halachic state."

As part of the reported agreements that were later denied by the Likud, N12 claimed that Israel's next government will halt the generation of electricity on Shabbat, fund the genizah of holy books and institutes dedicated to answering halachic questions and increase the number of sex-segregated beaches in Israel.
