Member of Knesset Almog Cohen of the Likud party has cautioned representatives of Haredi factions against forming political alliances with Arab parties. During a Knesset committee meeting, Cohen argued that Arab factions now seeking Haredi support had previously acted against the Haredi public for years and were now approaching them for political gain. "Suddenly the Haredim are your friends, suddenly the Haredim are perfectly fine, and you can flatter them and say they are good people," Cohen stated.
He directly addressed the Haredi representatives, warning them against aligning with groups he claims have damaged the Haredi public's image over the years. "I am here to remind us all, the Haredim, that spilled blood cannot be returned. Those who spilled your blood for many years and demonized you will take us years to repair in our society," he said. Cohen asserted that these individuals are "Israelis, Jews, with Jewish blood flowing in their veins, and they are now in partnership with those who praise the Nakba, praise Hamas, praise murderers. These are the facts."
Cohen further warned that any choice to support such groups would lead to continuous public condemnation. "If someone chooses the path of terror, they will hear about it from the public non-stop. Not just from us. Even when they go to public spaces, even when they go to malls, even when they go to synagogues, people will tell them: You chose Hamas supporters, not your brothers," he concluded.
