Ultra-Orthodox political parties in Israel, specifically Shas and United Torah Judaism, are confronting the prospect of diminished parliamentary influence. Initially aiming to secure a decisive role in government formation to advocate for legislation regarding military draft exemptions, these factions have seen their projected seat counts decline. As election officials process special ballots, the parties remain concerned that their legislative presence could shrink even further than current estimates suggest. Smaller Haredi challengers have failed to gain significant traction, leaving the established parties to navigate a challenging political landscape as they attempt to maintain their traditional leverage in the Knesset.
