MK Meir Porush of United Torah Judaism clarified today (Tuesday), in an interview he gave to Kalman Libeskind and Assaf Lieberman on Channel 2, why the Haredim will have difficulty forming a coalition with the chairman of Blue and White-New Hope - saying: "Gantz and his group are not on our agenda.". What are the restrictions on the use of cash in receiving/paying loans and donations? Porush explained: "There are groups whose agenda is to desecrate Shabbat, to cause conversions not according to Halacha and kashrut not kosher. In Likud, it is not on their agenda to harm the religious character. We do not spend all day licking honey in Likud. Gantz and his entire group are not on our agenda.". In an interview Gantz gave to Michal Rabinowitz on Kan News, he continued the former prime minister's boycott statements and said: "I will not sit with Netanyahu unequivocally." He added: "Unlike Lapid, I am able to speak and act in cooperation with all parts of the house, including the haredi.".
