Kollel Students and Foreign Yeshiva Students
United Torah Judaism has decided to file a no-confidence
motion following the government's decision to stop support
funding for all foreign yeshiva students in Israel and to
reduce stipends for kollel students. The motion will

gathering to protest the government's deliberate funding
sabotage against the yeshivas.

extreme leftist anarchist and anti-free-trade organizations.
