Likewise the Agudath Yisrael, Shas and Degel Hatorah parties now favor the right either because of their commitments to greater Israel or because they believe the right will more readily uphold religions law.
The Degel Hatorah and Agudath Yisrael are both ultra-orthodox Haredi religious parties that periodically unite to form the United Torah Judaism List and then may divide for elections only.
The difference between them is that Agudath Yisrael are Hassidim and mostly followers of the Lubavitcher Rabbi and their set of rabbis, while Degel Hatora is a party of anti-Hassidic orthodox Jews whose followers originated in Vilna.

 Peace & shalom : The Land of Israel and the State of Israel
The hareidi sectors do not recognize the religious legitimacy of the State of Israel, its institutions or its laws; a blatant manifestation of this is the willingness of Agudath Yisrael to participate in the coalition, but not in the government.
However, when the settler movement, which set the practical implementation of the ideal of the Wholeness of Eretz Yisrael as its goal, thereby found itself in a frontal clash with the State of Israel, it justified itself via a hareidi-like detachment from the democratic regime.
Consequently, those who champion the cause of Greater Eretz Yisrael cannot be interested in the encouragement of Arab moderation (which would obligate Jewish moderation in return), and any expression of Arab willingness to make peace with us is considered, by definition, an act of deceit and a trap.

He was never invited, for instance, to serve on Agudath Yisrael's Council of Torah Sages, then the preeminent spiritual and political authority in the ultra-Orthodox world and an exclusively Ashkenazi body.
In the Ashkenazi yeshiva world some even disparagingly referred to him as "a donkey bearing books," a comment intended to create the impression that he was nothing more than a memorizer of texts.
Hence, when Yosef gave his blessing to Shas, he was redressing not only a communal humiliation-that suffered by Sephardim in the Agudath Yisrael-dominated ultra-Orthodox world-but also a personal one: Shas would challenge not only Agudath Yisrael but also the National Religious Party.

Rabbi Ziemba further argues that the position of those who oppose the establishment of a Jewish state is also based on the consideration of the sanctification of God's name.
