Summarized from Ynetnews by baba
CenterNeutral tone
A United Torah Judaism official offered to support opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot for prime minister in exchange for advancing legislation for ultra-Orthodox draft exemptions. This proposal emerges as election results show neither Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc nor Eisenkot's bloc securing a majority in the Knesset. Eisenkot's bloc would still be short of the required 61 seats even with United Torah Judaism's support. Final official election results are expected on November 4.
