Yaakov Asher, Chairman of the United Torah Judaism party and a Member of Knesset, responded on Thursday to allegations of election bribery funded by enemy states. He sharply criticized those who portrayed the Haredi public as enemies during political discourse. "You are mistaken. You have turned us, the loyal to the people of Israel and its Torah, into enemies, while on the other side, suspicions of vote buying with funds from enemy states are being exposed," Asher stated. He also alluded to the term "alliance of servants," questioning its use and implying it was employed without proper consideration, stating, "You called this the 'alliance of servants'? Apparently, you forgot to ask whom."
