Rabbi Mordechai Blau, a senior Degel HaTorah official, addressed the coalition crisis in an interview with Ynet studio, saying "We signed agreements, they need to be honored but they aren't being honored. I don't understand Likud. Do they want to destroy the country and break up a right-wing coalition during wartime?" He added, "We're always the punching bag. Why is it okay when settlements are built in various places because Minister Smotrich, who's hovering at the electoral threshold, demands it? But we, with 18 mandates, don't deserve what was promised to us?"
