Haredi Tzibur

Following the announcement of its run for the Knesset, the party launched a campaign across Haredi population centers, focusing on criticism of the Haredi leadership and a call for enlistment and the study of mathematics and English.

Contacts between former Shas chairman Eli Yishai and Haredi Tzibur party leader Moti Leitner are intensifying with the involvement of senior rabbis. Polls indicate Yishai enjoys over 70% support among modern Haredim, posing a potential threat to Shas.

The former Shas chairman is holding talks with the "Haredi Tzibur" party, which appeals to working Haredim and supports the conscription of Haredim who do not study. At this stage, no final decision has been made.
