A source close to Meir Porush and Eliyahu Shtark says the two politicians have ended a multi-year process of breaking away from the Gerrer faction's dominance in the ultra-Orthodox party, accusing Gerrer activists of taking the party hostage.
A political source reported Tuesday evening that Meir Porush and Eliyahu Shtark have completed a long-standing effort to separate from the Gerrer (Gur) faction within the ultra-Orthodox Agudat Israel party. The source accused the Gerrer leadership of running the party in a 'dictatorial' manner and taking it hostage for narrow interests. The move marks a significant internal realignment that could affect the party's coalition dynamics. The Zioneer reports this based on a single source close to the figures; details of the new political framework remain unclear.
