Eisenkot Bloc Considers Draft Freeze to Gain Ultra-Orthodox Support
Summarized from Ynetnews by baba
Opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot's bloc is considering a one-year freeze on military draft enforcement for ultra-Orthodox men to secure support from the United Torah Judaism party for a new government. The proposal faces significant legal challenges, as a similar suspension was previously deemed unconstitutional by the High Court. Prime Minister Netanyahu is actively working to maintain his alliances with ultra-Orthodox parties, while Avigdor Liberman's opposition to governments relying on the Ra'am party adds another layer of complexity to coalition formation.
