️ *COALITION TALKS CONTINUED: SHAS, GANTZ AND GHATTAS SET OUT POSITIONS*

 Published: November 8, 2026 · 5:30 PM Israel time

 Shas denies joining an Eisenkot government: The party rejected reports that it was preparing to join an Eisenkot-led coalition:

“Contrary to the false reports being circulated this evening by various journalists regarding Shas supposedly joining an Eisenkot-led government, this is completely fake news.

As instructed by the Council of Torah Sages, Shas is part of the right-wing bloc, which cherishes the Torah and Jewish tradition.

We reiterate that only official statements issued by Shas are authoritative, not reports from journalists or social media commentators.”

United Torah Judaism chairman MK Yaakov Asher welcomed flexibility on conscription but emphasized that any proposal would require consultation with the party and its rabbinic leadership:

“It is encouraging to see the flexibility shown by all political players on the issue of military conscription. It is painful to think how much incitement and hatred between fellow Jews could have been avoided had that same flexibility been demonstrated in recent years.

In this week’s Torah portion, which deals with the matchmaking of Isaac and Rebecca, it is written: ‘Let us call the maiden and ask her opinion.’ This is worth remembering when discussing political matches that have not yet even been proposed to one of the parties involved.

And of course, any proposal will first be brought before the ‘in-laws’ for their decision — our revered Torah sages and leaders of the generation, may they live long and good lives.”

殺 Gantz warns against dependence on ultra-Orthodox parties: Speaking to Orly Goldklang in Makor Rishon, Benny Gantz criticized suggestions that the military-service framework could be set aside to remove Netanyahu:

“It’s clear to us that we need a framework for military service, and yet we’re hearing voices calling to throw it aside, as long as it means getting Netanyahu out of office.

“After what we’ve been through over the past four years, with a government that was dependent on the ultra-Orthodox parties, we understand that being dependent on the ultra-Orthodox is also untenable.

“I’m deeply disappointed in my fellow ultra-Orthodox politicians, who failed to understand that, at such a difficult time, they needed to act differently.

“After October 7, there was a certain awakening, but once the immediate emergency subsided somewhat, that sense of urgency faded for them—and for Netanyahu as well.”

️ Joint List candidate responds to questions about Hamas: Dr. Faten Ghattas, No. 3 on the Joint List, told the BBC: Hamas? Throughout history, wherever there has been occupation, there has been resistance, and this must be clearly understood. International law actually allows a people under occupation to resist those who occupy them.

We reject the claim that if we join the government, it will be a terrorist government. What the current government is doing today constitutes severe terrorism against us as citizens, as well as terrorism in the occupied territories. That is the reality on the ground.
