The Haredi partieis have said they will not be in government with Lapid. If they go back on their statement (Theirs not mine) they will be seen as liars and people with no backbone except for money
Not liars, but positioning themselves for the election. After that if Yesh Atid is willing to fund Yeshivos I don’t see how UTJ doesn’t go with them.
And everyone knows that the government will not start busting into Yeshivos and arresting learners. It would be a PR nightmare for a country obsessed with PR. The point is probably to make them felons and not eligible for funding (and maybe voting, which would cut down the charaidi population advantage).
akuperma – I believe Israeli society would see the Charaidim moving en mass to the NK shittah as a positive.
