An opinion piece published by i24NEWS criticizes the Israeli left-wing bloc for what it describes as a "greatest display of hypocrisy in history." The author contends that immediately after the election results became clear, the left abandoned its campaign against the ultra-Orthodox community and began seeking their support. The piece suggests a shift from a "servants' alliance" to a "repentant alliance," implying that the left now views the ultra-Orthodox not as draft dodgers but as beloved brethren.
