Summarized from Israel National News by baba

An opinion piece claims the Israeli Left's push for a universal Haredi draft was a political strategy, not a policy commitment. Reports suggest Gadi Eisenkot may compromise on the draft to gain Haredi party support for forming a government. This shift follows strong rhetoric from leaders like Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, who previously championed the universal draft. The author also asserts that recent legal actions against Haredi draft evaders were political pressure tactics.
