Degel HaTorah Denounces Right-Wing "Patronage" in Strong Editorial

The Haredi newspaper Yated Ne'eman published a strong editorial rejecting its affiliation with the right-wing bloc and criticizing right-wing politicians for "patronage" and threats. The editorial, prompted by warnings regarding the conscription law, asserts the Haredi public's autonomy and questions the right's historical treatment of their community. It states, "We are not right-wing! Not right-wing and not left-wing! We are the opinion of the Torah!" The piece also blames right-wing Knesset members for obstructing the conscription law and imposing harsh decrees on the Haredi public.

Orthodox Priest Vows to Fight Police Investigation Closure After Alleged Assault

Jaffa's Orthodox Archpriest Constantine Zuraik Nassar is challenging the closure of his complaint against police officers who allegedly assaulted him on September 29. Despite the Police Internal Investigations Department closing the case, Nassar plans to appeal to the courts to reopen the investigation, citing a lack of explanation for the decision. He described a "brutal" arrest and verbal abuse, and feels the investigation attempted to shift blame. Nassar is pursuing legal action and international media attention with the help of a human rights organization.
