Likud Warns Haredi Parties Against Joining Left-Wing Government

Likud Spokesperson Guy Levy issued a stern warning on Monday to Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) parties, cautioning that aligning with a government led by Gadi Eisenkot and the "change bloc" would inflict long-term damage on the Haredi public and the world of Torah study. Levy expressed strong opposition to any potential coalition between Haredi parties and the "change bloc," stating that such a move would be detrimental for generations.

Levy elaborated on his concerns by listing the politicians he believes would be part of such a government, including Kariv, Lazimi, Yair Lapid, and Avigdor Lieberman. He asserted that these individuals have historically harmed Torah institutions, and a partnership with them would jeopardize the interests of the Haredi community.

Furthermore, Levy raised the issue of appointing the next Attorney General. He suggested that a government led by the "change bloc" might appoint a new Attorney General for a seven-year term, a decision he believes could have repercussions extending beyond the government's tenure. Levy criticized the current Attorney General's actions as a precedent for potential negative outcomes.

Concluding his remarks, Levy reiterated his warning about potential agreements between Haredi parties and the "change bloc." He cautioned that any achievements gained during coalition negotiations might prove temporary and could vanish at the first opportunity, regardless of the initial agreements reached.
