Haredi Publications Signal Shift Toward Change Bloc on Conditions for Yeshiva Students' Status Arrangement

In depth

The newspaper "HaModia," associated with the Gur Hasidic movement, published articles supporting the formation of a joint government of the Haredi parties and the change bloc. The articles state that United Torah Judaism will support only a candidate who presents a practical solution to the status of yeshiva students, accompanied by binding guarantees.

The newspaper criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu and claimed that the Haredi public is being persecuted. According to the article, the faction will this time demand real guarantees and not only a signed commitment, and the remarks were published after Yitzhak Eisenkot received the mandate, while United Torah Judaism refrained from recommending a candidate.

The publication "HaMevaser," associated with MK Meir Porush, stated that it will not enter any government without regulating the status of yeshiva students and an immediate end to their persecution.
