Yehadut Hatorah Leader Warns of Israel Collapse
Yehudah Hatorah Party leader Yaakov Asher affirmed that depicting Haredi Jews as "internal enemies" or as a "fifth column" threatens to disintegrate Israeli society and the state. He made this statement while discussing the ongoing controversy over exempting religious studies students from military service. He warned that escalating political rhetoric regarding the conscription of Haredim could deepen internal divisions, especially as the 2026 elections approach, since Haredi parties rely on a resolution of the conscription issue to maintain their support for the governing coalition. The core disagreement centers on balancing continued exemptions with expanding military service, reflecting political and social tensions over identity and the role of religion in Israeli society.
