Chairman of the Yashar party, Gadi Eisenkot, declared today (Tuesday) in the first faction meeting ahead of the swearing-in of the 26th Knesset that he will not give up his principles regarding the conscription of Haredim, even against the backdrop of the possibility of cooperation with the Haredi parties to form a government. Eisenkot said: "I do not intend to set aside our conscience. Service for all citizens of Israel – we will not fold this flag." He referred to the state's situation: "The State of Israel is at a crossroads. Among the most challenging days the State of Israel has had since its establishment. We have a compass and I will not set it aside." Eisenkot added that his party will act together with the partners from the left bloc – the Democrats and Yisrael Beiteinu – and will extend a hand to any partner who recognizes the four principles it has set.
