Will votes be burned for the right? Another Haredi party will run in the elections

A new Haredi party named "Hakahal" was launched in Jerusalem, headed by Shlomo Alboim, with over 70,000 supporters. The party offers democratic primaries and support for enlisting Haredim who do not study Torah. Alboim addressed the concern about burning votes and said the party will act responsibly. Panel member Hadar Miller noted the leakage of Haredi votes to Likud and Ben Gvir.

A new Haredi party named "Hakahal" was launched last night (Wednesday) in Jerusalem, and it already has over 70,000 supporters, as announced by the new chairman, Shlomo Alboim, in an interview with the "Yoman Tzohorayim" program on Channel 14. The party presents a model of democratic primaries for selecting representatives, unlike the common practice in the Haredi sector, and supports enlisting Haredim who do not study Torah into adapted frameworks. Alboim emphasized that those who do not study should feel comfortable entering and leaving a Haredi army. Panel member Hadar Miller noted that Haredi votes are leaking to Ben Gvir and Likud, and expressed skepticism about the project's success. Alboim addressed the concern about burning votes and said the party will take responsible steps if it poses a danger. He noted that rabbis and the Haredi public support the party but fear pressure. The party declares subordination to Torah opinion and rabbinic guidance.
