In Beit Shemesh, Degel’s Muntag Accuses Shlomei Emunim Of Betrayal, Voting For Bloch In Election
While Beit Shemesh Mayor-elect Aliza Bloch is busy negotiating with the various parties towards forming a coalition government, Degel Hatorah Deputy Mayor, Moshe Muntag on Sunday evening came out against the Shlomei Emunim faction, which he blames for Moshe Abutbul losing the mayoral race. According to Muntag, “Shlomei Emunim betrayed us and the chareidi tzibur to obtain jobs”, citing Shlomei supporters secretly voted for Bloch and not Abutbul, resulting in his defeat.
“To my profound sorrow, it was confirmed that Shlomei Emunim had betrayed us during the elections,” said Muntag, a Degel Hatorah councilman in Beit Shemesh. He added that at first, he and others did not wish to believe it but not, it is clear to all that this is what occurred, and this is what led to Abutbul’s defeat at the polls, losing by 533 votes.
Muntag announces that during elections, Shlomei Emunim “closed a deal” with Dr. Aliza Bloch, the independent candidate backed by all the non-chareidim, a deal that included either voting for her or at the very least, having Shlomei supporters not vote for Abutbul, abstaining. In exchange, Shlomei Emunim officials will receive senior posts in the new administration. Muntag feels that Shlomei Emunim will be the only chareidim entering a coalition headed by Bloch. “This act will not be forgiven” he adds, with a senior Degel official adding, “We will oppose them as a vigorous opposition on every matter they try to pass. These people will not be permitted to benefit from their traitorous actions, betraying the entire chareidi tzibur, and they will not have benefit from a moment in the coalition.”
So, what caused Muntag and his colleagues to accuse Shlomei Emunim – the fact that efforts were made to unite all 13 chareidi factions into a single united unit, including the Peleg and Chabad, amid the realization this would provide a strong negotiating reality if there was a chareidi front against Aliza Bloch. However, the lack of trust between the chareidi parties brought that naïve vision to a quick end, with some faction representatives conducting talks behind the backs of other chareidi parties.
Shlomei Emunim denies the accusations, explaining Muntag is pained over the loss and the reality that now, he will not be in charge of the Planning & Construction portfolio in the incoming administration. “Chazal says כל הפוסל במומו פוסל,” Shlomei Emunim concluded.
