As coalition talks continue, the newspaper aligned with the chassidic wing of United Torah Judaism has published a pointed message on the possibility of backing a candidate outside the right-wing bloc.
In an article, the paper argues that the central consideration guiding the party must be securing the status of yeshiva students, and that promises and commitments from candidates for prime minister are no longer enough.
"Therefore, in order to implement this declaration, United Torah Judaism did not recommend any of the various candidates to form a government to the president," the article states.
The condition for support was then spelled out: "We will support only a candidate who will arrange the status of Torah students, and this time, it is not possible to settle for just a written and signed commitment, because it has been proven to have no validity."
