The Hahal party announced Thursday night that it is withdrawing from the upcoming Knesset election race. The decision was made after extensive consultations among the party's senior leadership during a late-night meeting that lasted several hours and considered various political factors.
The party, which had not been registered in recent election polls and was seen as having zero influence despite a successful campaign advocating for primaries in Haredi parties, stated that the withdrawal was unanimous. A senior party official, quoted by political correspondent Avi Moscow, explained the decision was made out of responsibility for the "bloc as a whole" and for the "campaign," citing changes in the United Torah Judaism list as a factor they are "taking credit for."
