Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, has reportedly removed his veto on forming a government that includes Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) parties. This move is seen as a significant shift in his stance towards cooperation with these parties.
The "change bloc," a coalition of parties aiming to form a new government, is now advancing plans to include the United Torah Judaism party. The basis for this potential inclusion is reportedly a "lenient" conscription law, a key issue for Haredi parties who seek exemptions from military service for their seminary students.
This development could signal a major change in Israeli politics, potentially allowing for the formation of a government that was previously blocked by Lieberman's opposition to the Haredi parties' demands, particularly concerning the draft law.
