Not in Netanyahu's pocket: Are the Haredim changing direction?

The power of the Haredi parties has declined in the current Knesset by five seats: Shas lost nearly half its strength, and United Torah Judaism did not grow relative to natural population increase. In a new episode of the podcast "Ad HaKatz" with Keren Neubach, Kan News commentator Yair Ettinger analyzed the election results crisis, the political accounts, and the possibility of the alliance with Netanyahu crumbling.

In the current Knesset, the power of the Haredi parties has declined by five seats. According to the article, Shas lost nearly half its strength, United Torah Judaism did not grow relative to natural population increase, and voices of rebellion are already being heard in the Haredi public. After years of a tight political alliance with Netanyahu, the Haredi parties now stand at a crossroads, and the question being asked is whether the election results will lead to the disintegration of the alliance between them. In the new episode of the podcast "Ad HaKatz" with Keren Neubach, Yair Ettinger, Kan News commentator on religion and state affairs, was a guest to analyze the election results crisis, the political accounts, and the options on the table. The central question that remains open is whether the Haredim are changing direction, or whether they will seek to return to being the kingmaker for a candidate who will offer them the best terms.
