The double game of Haredi operatives: They worked in the Likud primaries and returned to the Haredi parties

ynet reveals that Haredi vote contractors who operated in the Likud primaries have returned to work for the Agudat Yisrael and Shas campaigns. Some are Likud central committee members, and one is simultaneously registered as a central committee member and a candidate for United Torah Judaism, in violation of the law prohibiting membership in two parties.

ynet reveals that Haredi vote contractors who operated in the recent Likud primaries, recruiting many Haredi members, have now returned to work for the Haredi parties Agudat Yisrael and Shas. Some serve as Likud central committee members, and one of them, Eliezer Lutskin, is simultaneously registered as a Likud central committee member and a candidate on the United Torah Judaism list for the Knesset (unrealistic 49th place). The article details how the operatives circumvent Section 15 of the Parties Law, which prohibits membership in more than one party: in the Haredi parties there is no formal membership registration, so on paper they are only registered with Likud. Among the figures mentioned: Aharon Elboim, who manages the field headquarters of Agudat Yisrael and serves as deputy mayor of Bnei Brak; Uzi Shalom, who managed the Haredi census in Likud and now manages the youth headquarters of Agudat Yisrael in Beitar Illit; and Nir Ariel from Shas, who was documented in an election video of the party. The chairman of the Likud faction in the Bnei Brak council, Yaakov Vider, called the reality 'delusional' and demanded that the phenomenon be outlawed.
