Channel 12 panelist's publication about Haredi joining the left – and the denial

Yishai Cohen reported that Rabbi Dov Lando instructed Degel HaTorah to open talks with the Change Bloc. The United Torah Judaism office denied: "No instruction was given."

The Haredi panelist on Channel 12, Yishai Cohen, reported that yeshiva head Rabbi Dov Lando instructed Degel HaTorah MKs to open coalition talks also with the Change Bloc, led by Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot. According to Cohen, the party does not see itself as part of any bloc, and regulating the status of yeshiva students is the main consideration. Following the publication, the office of United Torah Judaism chairman MK Yaakov Asher denied the report, stating: "No instruction was given. We had already been with the great Torah sages since the elections." The article reports on political developments after the publication of the true election results.
