Moti Lightner, chairman of the Haredi Public Party, has completely ceased communication with all parties pressuring him to withdraw from the Knesset race, according to a Maariv report. After Lightner publicly declared his intention to run until the end on Wednesday, his party's representatives conveyed a clear message to those involved in behind-the-scenes negotiations: "There is no withdrawal and no further negotiation."
This communication cutoff has become a reality, as Lightner has turned off his mobile phone since making his statement, not responding to calls or messages, and ignoring all attempts at political pressure. The struggle now appears to be shifting from quiet talks to open public attacks.
Sources within the Haredi Public Party emphasized that this message was delivered on Wednesday to all involved in persuasion attempts. They clarified that Lightner's press conference was intended to end rumors and confirm that his decision is final, not a tactic to improve his negotiating position. After weeks of meetings, offers, and heavy pressure, the party is now preparing to continue its campaign until election day.
