Leaders of the Degel Hatorah and Agudas Yisrael factions that comprise Yahadut Hatorah are meeting on Tuesday 16 Iyar in an effort to continue hammering out differences to end the machlokes between the factions. Scheduled to take part in the meeting are Moshe Gafne, Meir Porush, and Chanoch Zeibert. Those involved explain the meeting was actually supposed to take place last week but it was canceled due Gafne’s scheduling conflicts.
The atmosphere has already improved as Meir Porush announced he was going to resign as a Member of Knesset while continuing to serve as Deputy Minister of Education to permit Degel’s Yaakov Asher to return to Knesset.
Truth be said, in the best of times there is a state of cold war and not peace between the factions, as their lives surround quid pro quos, with each constantly making demands of the other as well as pointing accusing fingers of disproportionate division of the pie.

i find it ironic that this article tells us about machlokis and the banner ad that popped up below it was an ad for sefer chofetz chaim,
this is a sign min hashomayim that no ostensibly frum Yidden should be in the tuma of the Knesset at all.
Karl… That is the sign that u read??? Very odd?!
Karl, tell it to the gedolei Torah. If you convince them, Yahadut HaTorah will leave the knesset.
karlbenmarx- So when the two Satmars have machlokes the sign is…..?
