Even if the right wins: Yahadut HaTorah prepares to stay outside the coalition

Yahadut HaTorah is preparing for the possibility of remaining outside the next coalition, regardless of the election results, against the backdrop of the conscription law issue. Senior party officials clarify that the party may recommend a candidate to form the government and support it from the outside, without joining it officially.

Yahadut HaTorah is preparing for the possibility of remaining outside the next coalition, regardless of the election results, against the backdrop of the conscription law issue. Senior party officials tell Channel 14: "We are preparing not to be part of the next coalition and to support it only from the outside. No matter what the election results will be." According to them, the chance of passing the conscription law in the immediate time frame is almost zero, and joining a coalition without a solution to the issue could place the party before a public crisis. The party is already holding talks with the rabbis and preparing for the possibility that they will remain outside the coalition, while they may recommend a candidate to form the government and support it from the outside. The political implication is that even if the election results allow the right-wing bloc to form a government, Yahadut HaTorah may choose not to be part of it.
