UTJ refused to recommend any candidate to President Isaac Herzog to form the next government

UTJ refused to recommend any candidate to President Isaac Herzog to form the next government, emphasizing that its top priority is securing legislation protecting yeshiva bochurim and Lomdei Torah.

During the meeting, MK Yitzchak Pindrus said Chareidim who do not learn Torah could face sanctions, while those studying must be protected. Herzog also condemned the arrest of chosson Yaari Lieberman during his Sheva Brachos, calling it “unnecessary and unacceptable.”
