A Member of Knesset from the Otzma party has penned a passionate appeal urging the United Torah Judaism (UTJ) party to reject any potential coalition with Gadi Eisenkot, citing concerns over the future of religious and national identity in Israel. The MK described the past year as one of "ugly and unrestrained incitement" against the ultra-Orthodox public, with politicians like Avigdor Lieberman, Naftali Bennett, Gadi Eisenkot, and Yair Golan allegedly competing to attack the community. This rhetoric, she claims, led to verbal assaults on Haredim in the streets, turning them into political targets.
The MK stated that her political camp stood with the ultra-Orthodox public during this period, paying a "heavy public and political price" but doing so with pride, believing in the value of Torah study and the contribution of the Haredi community to Israel. She expressed shock and incomprehension at reports of UTJ potentially joining a government with Eisenkot.
While acknowledging the importance of the conscription law and the need to support the Haredi yeshiva world, the MK emphasized that their responsibility extends to other critical areas. These include the status of Torah study, the sanctity of Shabbat, Jewish education, the Land of Israel, settlement, and the character of the judicial system. She warned that upcoming decisions, including judicial appointments, will shape the country for generations and could impact the status of Torah, Shabbat, Haredi education, and Israel's Jewish identity.
Citing the Book of Esther, the MK stressed the profound responsibility of public officials to consider the long-term future of the Jewish people. She argued that the partnership between the national camp and the ultra-Orthodox community is rooted in a shared love for Torah and a commitment to the Jewish state's future. She implored her colleagues in UTJ to "come to their senses," stating that the responsibility they bear for the future of Torah, the Land of Israel, the judiciary, and Israel's Jewish identity outweighs any specific law. The potential price for the entire nation, she concluded, is too high, and this is a test of historical responsibility.
