According to a Shas source speaking to Ynion News, the ultra-Orthodox party will not enter a political alliance with Gadi Eisenkot, a former IDF chief of staff and current member of the National Unity party. The source described Eisenkot as 'the furthest from tradition and Judaism,' and accused him of uploading videos that are 'antisemitic' and feature money bills directed at Haredim. Additionally, the source alleged that Eisenkot recently married off his daughter without a rabbi or a chuppah. The statement underscores the deep ideological divide between Shas and secular politicians, and may impact coalition negotiations.
