Yaakov Noach Litzman (Hebrew: יעקב נח ליצמן, born 2 September 1948) is an Israeli politician and former government minister. A follower of the Ger Hasidic dynasty, he heads Agudat Yisrael, part of the United Torah Judaism alliance, in the Knesset.[1] He previously served as Minister of Health[2] and Minister of Housing and Construction.
Litzman resigned from the Knesset in June 2022, as part of a plea agreement in which he admitted criminally obstructing the extradition of convicted pedophile Malka Leifer.[3][4]
