In a significant development within the Haredi political sphere, Rabbi Landau's household has decided to oust Knesset members Moshe Gafni and Uri Maklev. As of this report, Rabbi Hirsch's household, considered a peer in leadership, has not yet reached a final decision.

Over the past tumultuous weekend, discussions took place between the households of prominent rabbis. It was understood that Rabbi Landau had made a final decision. Subsequently, individuals associated with Rabbi Landau's household unilaterally briefed the media about the decision to remove Gafni and Maklev.

However, this move occurred despite Rabbi Hirsch not having issued a definitive ruling. Furthermore, numerous members of the council reportedly oppose the decision to oust the two Knesset members.
