A senior Degel HaTorah figure and education official, Rav Motke Bloy, has addressed the party's political relationships and future coalition possibilities, praising MK and former IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot and not ruling out sitting with him in a coalition. In his remarks, Rav Bloy also explained the chareidi party's current position on recommending Binyamin Netanyahu to the President.
"Eisenkot is one of ours, a Moroccan Jew and traditional," Rav Bloy said of Eisenkot. But he qualified the statement and made clear the decision is not his to make: "I didn't say we would support Eisenkot. Our gedolei Torah decide, and they will tell us what to do."
