David Yosef has won the position of Sephardic chief rabbi in the recent elections, while the Ashkenazi role remains undecided as a tie was recorded in the first round of votes. A second round of votes will be scheduled at a later date. The elections marked the end of a long struggle between religious parties and other religious groups over the positions. The election was delayed multiple times due to the ongoing war and a High Court ruling that demanded the consideration of appointing women rabbis to the election committee.
