Shas Considers Supporting Eisenkot Government If Draft Crisis Resolved
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Center-rightNeutral tone
The Shas party is considering supporting a government led by Gadi Eisenkot if the military draft status of yeshiva students is resolved. Shas is waiting for United Torah Judaism to move away from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc first. This cautious approach stems from Shas's need to retain its traditional, pro-Netanyahu voters. A resolution to the draft crisis is a key concern for the haredi public, potentially making them open to a non-Netanyahu government.
