Shalom Stein reports, citing sources within United Torah Judaism, that the internal crisis within Degel HaTorah — which saw MKs Moshe Gafni and Uri Maklev ousted on Saturday night — could also affect parts of Agudat Yisrael and lead to changes in the party's Knesset list. The shake-up in Degel HaTorah began when Gedolei HaTorah ruled to replace Gafni and Maklev with MK Yaakov Asher as party chairman. On Friday, a petition circulated within Haredi groups opposing the ousting attempt. Stein's report now indicates the fallout may extend beyond Degel HaTorah.
