A senior official from the United Torah Judaism party revealed on Tuesday that an understanding has been reached with Benjamin Netanyahu, stipulating that if he forms the next government, the military draft law for Haredim will be the first piece of legislation passed. This commitment comes just one week before elections.
The official stated, "There is an agreement with Netanyahu, if he achieves 61 seats, the draft law will be the first law his government will pass. The first! And there will be no compromises like we compromised before Iran." He emphasized that past delays would not be accepted, and Netanyahu understands this, having conveyed a similar message to the Haredi public through the community's media.
This statement suggests a firm stance from the Haredi parties, aiming to prioritize the draft law, which has been a contentious issue, over other legislative priorities. The official's remarks indicate a desire to avoid the compromises seen in previous coalition agreements, particularly referencing a past agreement related to Iran.
