Left on full: Gadi Azinkot's Yashar party last night took advantage of the "vehicle protest" initiated by Agudat Israel to incite against the ultra-Orthodox public.

In a message sent by the party to the phones of tens of thousands of Israelis, it was stated, in general, about nearly 10,000 vehicle owners:

""A minority that neither serves nor works is paralyzing the state at the expense of the working and serving sector. We must put things in order.".

The announcement did not provide details on how Eisenkot would make arrangements in front of thousands of working people, vehicle owners, many of whom also served in the IDF.

Attorney Avi Blum, a commentator for the newspaper 'Mishpacha', responded: "This is the message I received, like tens of thousands of targeted citizens, in the diaspora from Gadi Eisenkot's 'Yashar' party - with whom Gafni met as an alternative.

""I removed it, but what? But I'll be with you in the Torah flag, before you cross the road on the left side, look left to make sure you don't get run over!""

On the other hand, Motkah Blau spoke today with Anat Davidov and Nissim Mashal on 103fm and stated: "The Netanyahu bloc, from our perspective, from the perspective of Degel HaTorah and Agudat Yisrael, no longer exists. Netanyahu has lost the trust of our Torah gurus. Without serious guarantees from additional people who will join us in a new bloc, we will not continue. He did not give enough, and we are people who are learning.".

He also referred to the alternatives: "Bennett will be erased, his IQ is extremely low and I don't know how he got to where he is," he said.

On the other hand, despite the incitement of 'Yashar', he treated Eisenkot positively: "Eisenkot is a good guy, he is one of ours, a traditional Jew. We will make deals and force all the people in the Likud to understand in advance - there is no government and no jobs until the existential issue of the Jewish people, which is the Torah scholars, is sorted out.".
