United Torah Judaism lawmaker Yisrael Eichler is set to secure a seat on the Rabbinical Judicial Appointments Committee after his rivals, Moshe Gafni and Yinon Azoulay, withdrew from the race. Gafni, who leads a faction within the ultra-Orthodox party, urged fellow lawmakers to support Eichler's candidacy. The committee is responsible for selecting judges for religious courts, which oversee issues such as marriage, divorce, and conversion. This development follows recent political shifts, with United Torah Judaism leaving the coalition after a failed draft exemption bill, while Azoulay's party remains in the government.
