Inbar Harush Gity, a candidate in Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar party who was involved in establishing Chareidi enlistment initiatives at the Defense Ministry, said this week that Yashar’s objective extends beyond recruiting Chareidim into the IDF to targeting “every aspect of Chareidi life” in order to “end Chareidi autonomy.”
Speaking on a panel at the Yisrael Hayom conference, she explained her approach: “Listen, if you want to recruit Chareidim—and I’m saying this as someone who established Chareidi hesder yeshivos and Chareidi IDF programs—there is no choice but to end Chareidi autonomy. It’s not just about enlistment. It’s about ending Chareidi autonomy. Those who read all the texts we’ve written—on education, economy, and military service—will see exactly that.”
She continued: “We’re going after every aspect of Chareidi life. We won’t allow Chareidi autonomy to exist because it weakens the State of Israel and harms its security and economy.”
When questioned about which Chareidi Rabbanim she’s spoken to, she claimed she’s in touch with the most senior Chareidi Rabbanim but refused to reveal names.
“The last thing that needs to be done is to talk to the Rabbanim at the top of the Chareidi autonomy pyramid—we need to cut out the middlemen,” she said.

The more the Zionists attack Torah, including both oppression of chareidim and abominations like “hesder” for chareidim (an oxymoron like no other), the sooner that idol will disappear forever.
Maybe this wicked woman meant to say “We won’t allow Arab autonomy to exist because it weakens the State of Israel and harms its security and economy.”
Another way of terming Shmad
So? Why would that be a bad thing? Why do charedim need autonomy? Who else in a sovereign state has autonomy?
because it weakens the State of Israel and harms its security and economy.” WRONG! IT STRENGTHENS THE [NON-] state of israel AND IMPROVES ITS SECURITY AND ECONOMY IN EVERY ASPECT!
ONE THING FOR SURE; YOUR PERSECUTION AND DIVIDE, JUST TEARS APART ISRAEL’S SOCIETY AND THAT’S CAUSING THE WORST HARM TO THE COUNTRY!
these are the people “who established Chareidi hesder yeshivos and Chareidi IDF programs”.
ok, this was not Eisenkot himself
@somejew…; Chareidi IDF programs where chareidy soldiers have to listen to female singers after a full night heavy training…
“Charedi units” if even more than one exists is boys who defied rabbanim to join. How’s that charedi lol. I’m not saying some of them are not trying hard to stay strong but it’s the wrong term to call the unit
Milhouse – I didn’t know we had autonomy until she said so. Does this mean we don’t have to pay taxes until they get around to taking away our “autonomy”? She means our ability to keep Torah and Mitzvos as the Gedolim interpret them, not as the Bagatz interprets them.
