- Prime Minister Netanyahu is attempting to split the United Torah Judaism party.
- Netanyahu met with newly elected MK Elyakim Stern from the "Chomat Torat Yisrael" faction.

- Sources near the Prime Minister are divided on campaign strategies against Arab parties.
Sources close to the Prime Minister are reportedly divided on whether to continue a delegitimization campaign against Arab parties or to pursue unity among Jewish parties. Simultaneously, Prime Minister Netanyahu is actively working to divide the United Torah Judaism party. He has met with Elyakim Stern, a newly elected Member of Knesset from the "Chomat Torat Yisrael" faction, who represents a more moderate wing within the party.
This move is seen as an attempt to undermine the "change bloc," a coalition of parties aiming to form a government that would not include the current Prime Minister. The effort to split United Torah Judaism, a key component of the religious bloc, could disrupt the formation of a rival government.
