Leaders of the "Change Camp" opposition bloc have agreed to negotiate with the ultra-Orthodox parties Shas and United Torah Judaism, aiming to secure their support for a government led by Gadi Eisenkot. In exchange, the bloc is proposing a softened version of the Haredi conscription law, according to Channel Kan.
The agreement was reached during a meeting between Eisenkot, head of the "Yachad" party, and Avigdor Lieberman, leader of "Yisrael Beiteinu." They decided to approach the ultra-Orthodox parties with the offer of supporting an Eisenkot government in return for easing the draft law's provisions.
Further discussions between Lieberman and Naftali Bennett, head of the "B'Yachad" party, determined that Eisenkot would lead the communications with the ultra-Orthodox parties in his capacity as bloc leader. However, assessments within the "B'Yachad" and "Yachad" parties suggest that Lieberman is conducting separate outreach to representatives of these parties.
