Avigdor Liberman is offering a 2018 military conscription bill as a basis for coalition talks with ultra-Orthodox parties, proposing concessions like no personal sanctions and a three-year grace period. This plan, drafted before the October 7th attacks, contrasts with stricter measures proposed by the outgoing government and faces significant legal challenges regarding equality in service. Ultra-Orthodox parties are reportedly more confident in Liberman's commitments, seeking protections for yeshiva students.
