Gur Hasidic Movement Threatens Vote Withholding in UTJ Election Feud

Gur Hasidic Movement Threatens Vote Withholding in UTJ Election Feud

Israel's largest Hasidic movement, Gur, is threatening to withhold its 30,000 votes from the United Torah Judaism (UTJ) alliance ahead of the October 27 election due to an internal power struggle. The dispute centers on the breakaway faction formed by lawmaker Meir Porush and Elyakim Stark, whose Knesset seat is dependent on UTJ's overall performance. Gur leaders are negotiating for political positions within the alliance before mobilizing their voters, with the outcome potentially affecting UTJ's seat count and Stark's entry into parliament.
