Addressing the tzibur in party headquarters on Election Day night, MK Moshe Gafne expressed confidence Yahadut Hatorah will remain with seven seats in the 20th Knesset. He praised the nationwide effort, which he stated was not limited to Bnei Brak and Jerusalem. He added that it was wonderful seeing Gerre Chassidim working alongside litvish campaigners prior to elections.
He added that Yisrael Beitenu party leader Avigdor Lieberman was responsible for much of the tzoros facing the chareidi tzibur today, and now, he has fallen. He added Bayit Yehudi has fallen considerably too, and Yesh Atid and Yair Lapid, who served as finance minister, is also down considerably. MK Yisrael Eichler concurred, stating the enemies of the chareidim have all fallen considerably in the elections.
MK Yaakov Litzman added that entering the coalition will compel the prime minister to commit to removing the harsh gezeiros against the chareidi community.
MK Meir Porush added that the size of a party is not always the determining factor, but the party’s political influence is. He explained that Yahadut Hatorah is now hoping to enter the coalition and negotiations will be beginning.
(The number of seats may fluctuate. The Central Election Committee states the final numbers will be released Thursday morning, 28 Adar).

Isn’t it amazing when MK/Leaders evoke words of prophesy when events occur???!!!!
why start a fight, these people are going to be in the same coalition as you
Look who’s fighting then they say sefardim fight ! RACISTS
While it’s true that UTJ hasn’t gained, Lapid has got his well-deserved fall from grace and is the biggest loser in terms of seats in this election b”h.
he is right, the arab parties who are the best friends od charedim gained seats. two peas in a pod
It is good news for all of us that more Arabs voted. Those who vote in Israeli elections are less likely to express their opinions with guns and explosives. Fact is they are citizens and healthiest thing for them and us is for them to feel part of the system.
