Haredi Parties May Withhold Endorsements After Elections, Sources Say
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Haredi sources believe Shas and United Torah Judaism may refuse to recommend Benjamin Netanyahu or Gadi Eisenkot to form a government after the elections. The parties are reportedly inclined to remain in opposition due to the unresolved conscription law dispute, fearing potential High Court challenges. While the anti-Netanyahu bloc considers strategic parliamentary moves, the Haredi parties are unlikely to actively support these efforts, preferring to await election outcomes. The conscription issue is expected to continue complicating coalition negotiations.
