United Torah Judaism MK Yaakov Asher issued a sharp warning Tuesday, saying Religious Zionist leaders' attacks on the Haredi public are shortsighted, and predicted that after the dust settles the criticism will turn against them instead.
United Torah Judaism MK Yaakov Asher warned Tuesday that the Religious Zionist public will eventually 'miss the Haredim' as political tensions between the two camps escalate. Speaking on Knesset Channel's 'Black and White' program, Asher argued that current attacks by Religious Zionist leaders on the Haredi community are shortsighted. 'We are Haredim — today they don't like us, tomorrow they will love us,' he said. 'They are messianic — in their eyes they are a danger to the state.' He predicted that once the current political landscape shifts, the arrows will be directed at the Religious Zionist camp itself. The remarks reflect deepening intra-coalition friction ahead of sensitive legislative debates.
