Senior United Torah Judaism leaders are considering their next political steps amid reports that the Chareidi party could break from its longstanding alliance with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and potentially support Gadi Eisenkot in forming Israel's next government.

The discussions follow last week's Knesset elections, which left neither major political bloc with a clear majority and raised questions about the role Chareidi parties could play in determining the next government.

According to Hebrew-language media reports, senior United Torah Judaism representatives met Sunday, November 1, to discuss the party's position ahead of consultations with President Isaac Herzog.

The meeting included MK Yaakov Asher, MK Yitzchok Goldknopf, and MK Meir Porush.

Reports indicated that party officials were considering several options, including declining to recommend any candidate for prime minister until further consultations take place.

The possibility of supporting Eisenkot has also been discussed, although no formal agreement or endorsement has been announced.

Earlier reports suggested that some United Torah Judaism figures were exploring the possibility of supporting an Eisenkot-led minority government without formally joining the coalition.

Under such an arrangement, the party could potentially allow a government to remain in office by abstaining from certain parliamentary votes.

However, significant disagreements remain, particularly concerning legislation addressing the military service status of yeshiva students.

United Torah Judaism has repeatedly emphasized the importance of protecting the continued learning of bnei yeshiva, making the issue central to any potential political arrangement.

The latest discussions reflect growing uncertainty over the party's traditional political alliances and the direction it may take during coalition negotiations.

Party representatives are expected to consult Gedolei Yisroel and leading Rebbes before making a final decision.

For now, United Torah Judaism has not formally endorsed Eisenkot, Netanyahu, or any other candidate to form the next government.
