Amidst the political deadlock following the recent elections and ongoing coalition formation talks, former Knesset Member Yoel Hasson has issued a surprising call to the "Change Bloc" parties. Hasson is urging them to break a core election promise in order to establish a government. He specifically proposed forming a government with the ultra-Orthodox parties, stating, "The Change Bloc must form a government with the Haredim, now!"
Hasson outlined three key election promises made by the bloc: a conscription law, not forming a government with Benjamin Netanyahu, and not sitting with Arab parties. He suggested that breaking the promise regarding the conscription law, in exchange for an agreed-upon conscription law, could pave the way for a government. "I propose breaking the promise of the conscription law," Hasson wrote on his X account. "A government of the Change Bloc with the Haredi parties can be established in exchange for advancing an agreed-upon conscription law."
He believes this pragmatic political approach prioritizes replacing the current government, even if it requires compromising on the issue of equal burden-sharing. Hasson sees potential readiness for such a move among the Haredi parties and described it as a "historic opportunity."
