“Yeshivish” and “Chasidish” are both grouped under the “Chareidi” moniker, in the popular usage. The Agudah, both in America (i.e. Rabbi Avi Shafran) and in Israel (Degel HaTorah), have often subscribed to self-identification under the term. The Chareidim/Yeshivish/Litvish/Chasidish of America identify with the Chareidim/Yeshivish/Litvish/Chasidish in Israel sentimentally and in beliefs and values. The philosphical gap within Orthodoxy is primarily between the Chareidim and MO outside Israel and between the Chareidim and RZ in Israel. The MO of America sympathize and subscribe to a large part of RZ/DL philosophy whereas the Chareidim in both Eretz Yisroel and Chutz L’aaretz consider themselves part of the same general worldview.
