Liberman Reverses Stance on Ultra-Orthodox Draft to Form Government
Summarized from Ynetnews by baba
Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman has reversed his long-standing opposition to military exemptions for ultra-Orthodox men, now stating he is willing to compromise on the issue to form a government. This shift aims to help the anti-Netanyahu bloc assemble a coalition and end Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's tenure. Liberman had previously vowed never to join a government with ultra-Orthodox parties and insisted on no concessions regarding conscription, even at the cost of new elections. His current flexibility, however, may influence other opposition leaders' stances as coalition talks progress.
