Degel HaTorah Rabbis Oppose Leadership Coup Attempt
Senior rabbis within the Degel HaTorah political party have expressed strong opposition to an alleged attempt by several activists to seize control of the party. The activists reportedly aim to oust current leaders Moshe Gafni and Yaakov Litzman.
The rabbis, who have reportedly examined the situation closely in the past 24 hours, declared their fierce resistance to this takeover bid, stating "it will not happen." They warned that if the move succeeds, it could lead to a renewed division within the Lithuanian ultra-Orthodox community.
Furthermore, the Agudat Yisrael party, a coalition partner of Degel HaTorah, has indicated that it would reconsider its agreement with Degel HaTorah if the leadership change occurs. Agudat Yisrael believes such a move could alienate thousands of voters, potentially impacting election results.
