Haredi Bloc Strikes Broad Deal with Gadi Eizenkot Offering Full Budget and Draft Law Support

Journalist Mendy Rizel revealed that a significant faction within the Haredi community has reached a comprehensive agreement with Knesset member Gadi Eizenkot. According to Rizel, Eizenkot committed to providing the Haredi sector with extensive budgets and a draft law arrangement under terms that former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could not offer without provoking public backlash.

Rizel cited a source familiar with the deal who stated, "We are getting everything we want. That means budgets, the draft law, everything, everything Netanyahu could only dream of." He emphasized the stark contrast between Eizenkot's offer and what Netanyahu could propose, noting that if Netanyahu had offered similar terms, it would have sparked significant public criticism.

The journalist explained that these negotiations and agreements are intended to be implemented after the elections to avoid stirring public controversy beforehand. This development raises questions about how Eizenkot will handle the sensitive issue of the draft law, which remains a central concern for the Haredi community.
