Jerusalem, 13 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — United Torah Judaism MK Yitzhak Pindrus has asked the State Comptroller to investigate alleged financial and operational ties between the U.S.-based Maimonides Fund and the Haredi Public party, headed by Moti Leitner, Israeli Haredi media reported on Friday.
According to information received by Pindrus, the philanthropic foundation allegedly provided money, services, and other resources to support the party’s political activities. Pindrus warned that such assistance could violate Israel’s Political Parties Financing Law, which prohibits political parties from receiving donations from corporations, including indirect contributions and services provided free of charge.
In a letter to the comptroller, he requested an urgent examination of the funds and resources allegedly provided to the party, its chairman and staff, and called for appropriate action based on the findings.
