Gafni, Maklev to Be Removed from United Torah Judaism List
Lithuanian rabbis have approved the removal of Knesset members Moshe Gafni and Uri Maklev from the United Torah Judaism party, according to sources within the party cited by Kan News on Saturday evening. This move signifies the advancement of Yaakov Asher, who is close to Rabbi Landau, to the leadership position within the party.
The decision comes as part of internal party shifts and potential realignments ahead of future political considerations. Gafni and Maklev have been prominent figures within the Haredi political landscape for many years, and their potential removal marks a significant internal development for the party.
Yaakov Asher's promotion to the chairmanship is seen as a move favored by Rabbi Landau, indicating a potential shift in the party's internal dynamics and leadership preferences. The full implications of these changes for the party's political strategy and its representation in the Knesset are yet to be fully determined.
