Haredim Oppose Netanyahu's Policies
The article focuses on the political and electoral developments within the Haredi community in Israel ahead of the October 2026 elections. It discusses how the balance of power and influence among Haredi parties such as Shas and United Torah Judaism is shifting, with the declining influence of some traditional leaders and the emergence of new lists. It is expected that the Haredi community will grow significantly, reaching about 16% of Israel's population by 2030 and 24% by 2050, with an increasing political role. However, demographic growth does not automatically translate into more parliamentary seats, as votes tend to shift towards other parties like Likud. Internal disagreements are also arising within Haredi parties over issues such as enlistment and party influence, with increased influence exerted by working-class and education-supporting movements. Meanwhile, Haredi leaders are seeking to build influence within Likud, and there are prospects of forming a joint government with Ehud Barak, though the conditions and concessions needed are still unclear. These developments reflect significant demographic and political shifts that could alter the landscape of Israeli political parties and reshape the power alliances between religious and right-wing parties.
