United Torah Judaism chairman MK Yitzhak Goldknopf is attending a protest by Gur Hasidim, according to a report by Eli Hirshman.
MK Yitzhak Goldknopf is now confirmed attending the Gur Hasidim protest outside Prison 10, according to a report by journalist Eli Hirshman. The confirmation comes after earlier reports this evening placed him at a separate protest, and after he was first seen visiting Haredi draft evaders at the prison.
At 16:21 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Goldknopf had arrived at Prison 10 to visit imprisoned Haredi men and was expected to join a large Gur Hasidic rally later that evening. A subsequent report, also at 16:21 Jerusalem, stated that Goldknopf was leading a separate Haredi protest outside the prison, based on an unverified social media post. The source quality evolved from a single report to a confirmed sighting by Hirshman.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this evening (Mon 22:11 Jerusalem), the post that claimed Goldknopf was leading a protest also alleged, without verification, that he was deliberately working to sabotage the right's election chances. The protests are part of ongoing demonstrations against the arrest of Haredi draft evaders.
It remains unclear whether the protest Goldknopf was leading earlier is the same as the Gur Hasidim protest, or if he moved between events. The relationship between the two reported gatherings has not been clarified.
