Member of Knesset Meir Porush, chairman of the Shlomei Emunim faction within the United Torah Judaism party, has dismissed the significance of a new Haredi party led by Moti Leitner, which recently held a rally with hundreds of attendees. Porush stated in an interview that while one cannot ignore the hundreds of people attending such events who express a desire for "something different," he did not see any individuals identified with his party or Degel HaTorah at the rally. He suggested that attendees might have previously voted for figures like Itamar Ben-Gvir or not voted at all, and that they would ultimately not be elected to the Knesset. Porush emphasized his focus on garnering votes for United Torah Judaism. When questioned about the emergence of a female Haredi candidate for the Knesset, Porush expressed confusion and dismissiveness, stating, "What is this woman related to us? How many times do we need to be told in the same interview?" He implied that such candidates are not connected to his party's political bloc.
