Netanyahu Bloc Fears Gur Hasidim Will Abstain in Elections

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political bloc is concerned that the Gur Hasidic community may abstain from voting in the upcoming elections due to ongoing tensions with Netanyahu. The community, estimated to hold over 30,000 votes, has shown no signs of usual election mobilization. This situation is causing anxiety for Netanyahu's allies and the United Torah Judaism party. The strained relationship stems from disputes over yeshiva student conscription, with the community reportedly still harboring anger towards the Prime Minister.
