Gur Hasidic faction withholds election calls amid internal rift in Agudat Israel

The Gur Hasidic community, the largest faction in Agudat Israel, has not yet urged members to vote in upcoming elections and has omitted election coverage from its publication, signaling a protest over the departure of MK Perush and candidate Elikim Stark. This internal rift could fragment the ultra-Orthodox vote and affect coalition dynamics in Israel's parliament. The situation is developing as the community's stance may shift closer to the election.
