The Jerusalem faction announced it is joining the vehicle-protest convoy organized by the Agudat Yisrael party, saying the move 'was not ours' but members will follow organizers' instructions, according to a report by Haredi journalist Moshe Gareblick (Groibes).
The Jerusalem faction, a prominent ultra-Orthodox grouping that often maintains a separate political line from Agudat Yisrael, said Monday night it would join the Agudat Yisrael party's vehicle-protest convoy. A faction representative stated the move 'was not ours,' indicating the faction had not initiated the protest, but members would participate and act according to the organizers' instructions. The report was posted by Moshe Gareblick, a well-known Haredi journalist who covers the ultra-Orthodox sector. The Zioneer previously reported that President Donald Trump sent a message to the Jerusalem faction on Wednesday, saying 'help is on the way,' though the nature and timing of that promised assistance remain unclear. This latest announcement from the Jerusalem faction follows mounting political tensions within the Haredi community over various issues, including military service legislation and budget allocations.
