# Israeli Haredi political mobilization > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/israeli-haredi-political-mobilization > Updated: 2026-10-23T10:33:35.000Z. Sources: 4. Developments: 2. Ahead of the October 27 elections, Haredi political movements in Israel are actively mobilizing. The HaTzibur HaHaredi party held a large rally in Jerusalem, with Chairman Moti Leitner expressing confidence that the party would surpass the electoral threshold to represent the working Haredi public. Simultaneously, religious leadership has issued directives to support established groups. The Belzer Rebbe, via Rav Shimon Wolf Klein, called on followers to support the United Torah Judaism party, emphasizing that election results are vital for protecting Torah institutions like yeshivos and kollelim, especially regarding military enlistment controversies. In contrast to traditional stances, a new party named The Haredi Public is advocating for greater social integration. Led by Yehoshua Pfeffer, the party supports introducing secular studies in K–12 schools and the conscription of Haredi men into the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for those not enrolled in full-time yeshiva study. This platform follows a 2024 High Court ruling that struck down military exemptions. Public sentiment remains divided, with polling indicating that Haredi conscription is a top-tier issue for voters, while some surveys suggest a majority of Jewish Israelis favor a government that rejects Haredi demands for exemptions and subsidies. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-23: New Haredi political party advocates for IDF conscription The new Haredi political party, The Haredi Public, is campaigning for secular education, employment, and IDF conscription for Haredi men to increase societal integration in Israel. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/new-haredi-political-party-advocates-for-idf-conscription ### 2026-10-18: Haredi political parties hold rallies and endorsements ahead of Israeli elections Haredi political groups are mobilizing for Israeli elections, with HaTzibur HaHaredi holding a large Jerusalem rally and the Belzer Rebbe endorsing United Torah Judaism. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/haredi-political-parties-hold-rallies-and-endorsements-ahead-of-israeli-elections --- Cite as: Israeli Haredi political mobilization.
