The Hachareidi Public party will run in the upcoming elections until the very end, its chairman Moti Leitner announced. This decision comes despite recent polls consistently placing the party far below the electoral threshold required to enter the Knesset. Leitner expressed confidence that the party would surprise and win, stating that tens of thousands of Haredim who are disillusioned with established politicians will vote for their party, referred to as 'Zah'. He asserted that they would not detract from the right-wing bloc but rather energize apathetic voters. Previously, Dr. Yaffa had stated in an interview that the party would act responsibly and consider withdrawing if polls indicated no realistic chance of passing the electoral threshold a few days before the election. She had emphasized that they would consider the potential votes of those not yet declaring their intention to vote.
