The Jewish character of the State of Israel is under unprecedented attack, Charedi political and rabbinic leaders said Tuesday morning. They urged their constituents to vote to defeat “the haters of religion.”
Both parties ended in roughly the same place they started: Shas had nine seats in the outgoing Knesset; United Torah Judaism had seven. In early exit polls, Shas had nine and seven seats in the polls of channels 11 and 12, and Channel 13, respectively. UTJ had seven in the polls of channels 11 and 13 and six in Channel 12.
