- Chairman Yaakov Asher stated the party will not join any government without these conditions.
- Reports suggest some Haredi parties are considering joining a "Change Bloc" government.
- Yesh Atid Chairman Gadi Eisenkot vowed not to compromise on his party's principles.
- The statements come amid ongoing political maneuvering following recent elections.
In a rare direct interview with journalist Yishai Cohen, Asher emphasized that "without these conditions, we will not be partners with anyone. Period."
The three non-negotiable demands are: the regulation of the conscription law for yeshiva students and kollel members, the autonomy of Haredi education with no external interference or budget cuts, and maintaining the status quo on religion and state matters.
Asher's firm stance comes amid reports in Haredi newspapers suggesting a potential shift towards forming a government with the "Change Bloc." An editorial in "HaModia," associated with the Gur Hasidic sect and MK Yitzhak Goldknopf, discussed the possibility of joining a non-religious bloc due to a "lack of choice," stating, "Come the offer with its guarantees, and all will be relieved."
"Hamevasser," linked to MK Meir Porush, published an assessment that a conscription exemption arrangement proposed by the "Change Bloc" would likely pass judicial scrutiny, unlike a similar proposal from the right. Meanwhile, Gadi Eisenkot, Chairman of Yesh Atid, declared in the Knesset that he would not compromise on principles, asserting that the "Servants' Covenant" is a binding commitment.
These developments highlight the complex political landscape as parties position themselves ahead of potential coalition negotiations.
