Yashar, the party led by former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot, has put the chareidi parties to a first loyalty test, asking United Torah Judaism to join the left-wing bloc's demand to replace outgoing Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana.
"The chairman of the Yashar faction, MK-designate Roi Folkman, approached the heads of the Shas and United Torah Judaism factions today with a proposal to join the request to replace the Knesset Speaker during the opening session of the 26th Knesset," Yashar said in a statement.
"Letters sent to the faction heads stated that collecting signatures ahead of submitting the formal request is underway, and that their lists are invited to join the process."
