I'm confused...

Are they a politically powerful group like the Associated Press says?

Or a small minority with no political power like a random social media account just told me?

The ~~vast majority of Hareidi Jews are Zionist.~~ There are small groups totalling a few thousand who are Anti Zionist but live in Israel.

The Ultra Orthodox majority not only supports the state, but are represented by religious parties in the current government under Netanyahu.

Edit: Survey data shown below shows that although Hareidi Jews in Israel participate in the government, are represented by designated parties, and those parties are members of the current government under Netanyahu, the majority of those same people consider themselves either "not too" Zionist or "not at all" Zionist.

The vast majority of Hareidi Jews are Zionist.

According to a recent survey, less than half of Haredi Jews outside of Israel identify as Zionists, post October 7th.

In 2016, the percentage of Israeli Haredim who identified as Zionist was just 33%.

Do you have any recent figures for within Israel itself that confirms a "vast majority"?

Thank you for the links. It seems I missed the mark on that one.
