Key Figure Moshe Gafni May Exit Israel's United Torah Judaism Party
Significant leadership changes are reportedly underway within the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party. Sources within the party suggest that MK Yaakov Asher is poised to become the new chairman. Concurrently, veteran lawmakers Moshe Gafni and Uri Maklev are not expected to be included in the party's slate for the upcoming Knesset elections.
The potential departure of Moshe Gafni marks the end of an era for the party. Gafni has served continuously as a Member of Knesset since 1988, accumulating 38 years of service. This long tenure places him among the longest-serving current Knesset members, alongside Benjamin Netanyahu and Aryeh Deri, though unlike them, Gafni has not taken breaks from his parliamentary role.
