Degel Hatorah faction head MK Moshe Gafne on Sunday 8 Kislev spoke with Galei Tzahal (Army Radio) host Razi Barkai. “We do not have any demands. You are speaking with the man who has the authority to say this. I am speaking in the name of Yahadut Hatorah and possibly Shas. We simply do not want anything”.
Gafne added “We will not sign any document with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. There is no document and there will not be one. This is a bad government and it must go home and after elections we can see what the situation is”.
“I ask Lapid to leave the chareidim alone and tell the public of his accomplishments and failures”.
When asked what about the agreement made before the elections between Lieberman, Bennett and Lapid, Gafni responded “HKBH paid them and today they cannot look at one another”.

“to leave the chareidim alone”
Is that all!?
What about the people as a whole?
Mr.Gafne,
Ignore the screams of “k’fiah datit”. Battle for Tradition in every front and all else will fall into place
Rav Eliyahu Lopian said (during Eiphoh yossele saga)
“when they give us blows,kumpt unz. kumpt unz!
{roughly translated :we deserve it.we had it coming.}
Their silent cry is :you proclaim to be concerned about chinuch,about your Tradition.
What about us? how come you were/are unconcerned about us?”
If Netanyahu, Bennet and Lieberman agreed to amend the conscription law to eliminate penal sanactions (prison or fines) for yeshiva students who refuse to serve in the army — they would sign in a minute.
