Newly sworn-in Member of Knesset Tzvika Mor, representing the Religious Zionism party, expressed deep concern over potential political alliances between Haredi parties and the "change bloc," which he described as anti-Jewish. In an interview with Yossi Sergovsky, Mor stated his primary goals are "Jewish identity, education, and security." He criticized what he termed "violent pursuits" and "arrests" by judicial authorities, alleging they aim to create chaos and fragment the religious community, urging the "believing public" to unite and look ahead.
Mor unequivocally stated his opposition to drafting Torah scholars, emphasizing the value of yeshivas. He suggested that individuals not engaged in Torah study could be drafted if the army establishes suitable units and fulfills its promises. He voiced significant regret over discussions of partnership with a government he believes would be detrimental to Jewish values, asserting that the left-wing bloc cannot be trusted on matters of religion and that figures like Avigdor Lieberman, if they have changed their stance, could change it again.
Addressing reports of potential cooperation with Gadi Eisenkot and Lieberman, Mor appealed directly to Rabbi Dov Lando, a prominent leader of the yeshiva world. "From my limited vision, I do not trust the left-wing bloc on matters of Judaism," Mor stated, pleading for the construction of a coalition representing the "believing public." He stressed the demographic trend towards faith in Israel, particularly following the war, and argued that partnership with those who value Torah is the sole path to consensus and the preservation of yeshivas.
