A photo from N12 on Monday evening captures United Torah Judaism chairman MK Yitzhak Goldknopf at a protest of Gur Hasidim. The protest is reportedly ongoing, though details on location and demands remain unconfirmed.
A photo published by N12 at 22:22 Jerusalem on Monday evening confirmed United Torah Judaism chairman MK Yitzhak Goldknopf's presence at a protest of Gur Hasidim, adding visual evidence to earlier reports that he was leading the demonstration. The image, credited to photographer Eli Hirsman, corroborates the sequence of events reported since late afternoon.
At 16:21 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Goldknopf had arrived at Prison 10 to visit Haredi men imprisoned for evading military service, and that he was expected to join a large Gur Hasidic protest outside the prison later that evening. Within the same hour, further reports indicated he was actively leading the protest, with the channel citing a monitored source and later a journalist's report. The photo now provides independent confirmation of his role.
The Zioneer also reported earlier in the evening (at 22:11 Jerusalem) that Goldknopf was leading the protest, while noting an unverified claim that he was deliberately working to sabotage the right's election chances. That claim remains unsubstantiated.
The protest's exact location and demands have not been officially confirmed. The unverified allegation regarding Goldknopf's political motives has not been corroborated by any on-record source.
