Former Shas spokesperson Itzik Sudri stated that United Torah Judaism is leading talks with Gadi Eisenkot's bloc due to deep Shas-Likud ties and differing ultra-Orthodox leadership approaches. Sudri believes Shas is unlikely to join a "change" government, while UTJ faces internal divisions but has motivated negotiators. Any potential agreement must gain approval from Ashkenazi rabbinical leaders and survive judicial scrutiny.
