[59057] Knesset Member Pindrus opens the door to the possibility of joining the left-wing bloc
During 'The Patriots' program, Knesset Member Yitzhak Pindrus clarified that his party may consider new political collaborations, while re-addressing the issue of conscription to the IDF.
Statements regarding the political future of Degel HaTorah
During his appearance on 'The Patriots' program on May 13, 2026, Knesset Member Yitzhak Pindrus caused a stir after addressing the possibility that his party, Degel HaTorah, might join the left-wing bloc. As reported by YINONEWS and Hershkowitz & Grobeis - The Haredi Angle, when asked about the feasibility of such a move, Pindrus replied: "We will examine what the costs of that would be".
The YINONEWS channel, which is identified with right-wing and conservative positions, highlighted Pindrus's words in the context of the complex political map. At the same time, the Haredi Angle channel, which focuses on news for the Haredi sector, also noted the remarks as part of the lively political discourse surrounding the Haredi parties during this period.
In addition, Pindrus addressed the issue of IDF conscription on the program, a subject that constitutes a constant point of friction in Israeli public discourse. According to YINONEWS, MK Pindrus stated: "Our position is that whoever is not studying Torah should be drafted". This statement reflects the position of the mainstream in his party regarding the distinction between those who study Torah and those who are not in a yeshiva framework, this against the backdrop of public and legal pressure regarding the equality in burden.
