Degel HaTorah Party Reveals Knesset List, Ousts Veteran Lawmakers
The Degel HaTorah political party has unveiled its list of candidates for the upcoming Knesset elections, with MK Yaakov Asher securing the top spot. Following Asher are Yitzhak Pindrus in second place and Moshe Rosenthal in third. Yehuda Weissfish is ranked fourth, and Dudi Zaltz rounds out the top five.
Notably, the party's leadership, including Rabbi G.D. Landau, decided to remove two long-serving Knesset members, Moshe Gafni and Uri Maklev, from the list. In a statement released from Rabbi Landau's residence, he expressed gratitude to Gafni and Maklev for their service, particularly their efforts in defending the status of yeshiva students. The statement explained that the decision to replace them with new representatives was made to refresh the party's Knesset contingent, emphasizing that the move was in full compliance with the directives of Torah leaders.
