The Gur Hasidic sect is signaling a willingness to cooperate with Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar party, after he received the mandate to form a government. In the newspaper "Hamodia," the sect's mouthpiece, an editorial was published under the title "When There's No Choice - There's No Choice," sharply criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and expressing an expectation to join a coalition that would regulate the exemption from military service for young Haredi men. Yitzhak Goldknopf, the sect's envoy to the Knesset, is among the prominent advocates among the Haredi factions for a government led by Eisenkot. The editorial emphasizes that United Torah Judaism is not satisfied with a written and signed commitment and demands "appropriate guarantees" to ensure the continuation of Torah study and the status of yeshiva students. The article quotes the editorial but does not bring a response from Likud, Netanyahu, or Eisenkot.
