Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman Avigdor Lieberman has officially removed his veto on joining a government that includes Haredi parties, according to a Channel 12 report by commentator Amit Segal. The "Change Bloc" is now reportedly advancing the formation of a government with United Torah Judaism based on agreements for a relaxed conscription law.
Lieberman believes the promise to replace Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu should be kept, especially given the situation in the United States. He also opposes forming a government with Arab support due to public opposition.
As a result, Lieberman has authorized the leaders of the Change Bloc to enter negotiations with the Haredi parties. These talks will be based on the 2018 exemption law, which offers more leniency to Haredim than a proposed law by Boaz Bismuth. The latter law would impose sanctions on yeshivas only after three years and without personal sanctions on those who would be drafted.
