Journalist Raviv Drucker expressed strong criticism regarding the "change bloc's" potential dealings with Haredi parties, stating that reneging on draft commitments would constitute "very great hypocrisy." Speaking on Kol Barama radio on Wednesday, Drucker indicated his support for negotiations with Haredi parties and welcomed their potential inclusion in a "change bloc" government, calling them "legitimate allies."
However, Drucker's main critique was directed at the possibility that the "change bloc" might abandon its promises concerning the military draft. He argued that while engaging in talks with Haredi parties is not hypocritical, breaking commitments on the draft would be.
Drucker also commented on the possibility of Haredi parties joining a "change bloc" government, calling it a "great joy" and a desirable outcome if they could be persuaded to switch sides. Despite this, he assessed that there is "no chance" the Haredi parties would enable the "change bloc" to form a government.
