Deputy Minister (Yahadut Hatorah) Meir Porush has confirmed a meeting was held with the leaders of the chardal community, adding that there is cooperation with a desire to strengthen the chareidi party.
Kikar Shabbos News adds that representing the chardal tzibur was HRav David Chai HaCohen. Porush and MK Uri Maklev from the Degel Hatorah faction met with the rav, as they are seeking to get the chardal (chareidi dati leumi) voters to cast their ballot for Yahadut Hatorah.
Speaking with Kol Berama Radio on Sunday morning, Porush confirmed the meeting took place, and added that there is a kehilla that wishes to strengthen the chareidi party.
Porush was angry however that the meeting was leaked to the media, adding “there is an entire kehilla that wishes to vote to strengthen Yahadut”.
The meeting was held with representatives of the chardal Noam party, which follows the dictates of HaRav Tzvi Tau, the tzibur affiliated with Yeshivat Har HaMor. The party, as it appears, it likely to drop out of the election race amid the awareness it does not have sufficient support to meet the minimum election threshold. Yahadut Hatorah realizes the Torah values of the party leaders and members, and is working to pull those votes to Yahadut Hatorah, which might lead to an additional seat in Knesset.

As long as we use names such as Chardal, Charedi, Dati Leumi to divide us, we are delaying the building of the Beit HaMikdash HaShlishi.
I have met Meir Porush and came back with a terrible impression of a very corrupt man. I have met the Noam activists and fell in love with their idealism and honesty.
politicians are like cars
when they are new and shiny and squeaky clean we fall in love with them
