Strictly orthodox MK Yakov Litzman is in trouble with the supporters of defeated strictly Orthodox mayoral candidate Meir Porush.

Litzman angered Porush and his supporters by backing a secular candidate, Nir Barkat, for mayor of Jerusalem - an election in which Barkat subsequently triumphed.

Porush's suporters were so angered by this betrayal that they physically assaulted Litzman at a family celebration last Saturday.
