Member of Knesset Meir Porush of the United Torah Judaism party has firmly dismissed recent reports suggesting that the ultra-Orthodox parties might consider cooperating with the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot. Responding to a question about whether his party would join Eisenkot in exchange for an exemption from military conscription, Porush stated emphatically, "Who will go with him?! He doesn't even call us, and he won't call us."
Porush's strong remarks follow through on his explicit campaign promises to the Chabad Hasidic community and the right-wing ultra-Orthodox public, assuring them that his faction would not support the establishment of a government headed by the center-left bloc. Amid speculation about behind-the-scenes negotiations, Porush reiterated his commitment, stating, "What I say, I fulfill," and affirmed that past commitments remain valid.
These comments come as the Joint List party also reportedly delivered a blow to the "change bloc," indicating internal political challenges for the opposition.
