A potential coalition government including ultra-Orthodox parties faces significant challenges that could lead to its collapse before it can achieve its goals, according to reports. If the "change bloc" parties attempt to bring the ultra-Orthodox into a new government, they may offer them the 2018 version of the Conscription Law. This version of the law, which enshrines the status quo of de facto draft exemptions under the principle of "Torato Omanuto" (their Torah is their craft), is widely expected to fail judicial review by the High Court of Justice (Bagatz). Consequently, such a government would be unable to sustain itself.
