United Torah Judaism Refuses to Back Legal Advisor Split Bill Without Government Decision on Haredi Kindergarten Teachers

United Torah Judaism (UTJ) faction leader Moshe Gafni has declared that his party will not support the bill to split the position of the legal advisor to the Ministry of Education until the government issues a formal decision regarding Haredi kindergarten teachers. Gafni addressed the coalition, emphasizing that the party's vote on the proposed legislation is contingent on resolving the status and recognition of Haredi early childhood educators. This stance highlights ongoing negotiations within the coalition concerning educational policies affecting the Haredi community. No specific timeline was provided for when the government decision on the kindergarten teachers might be expected, leaving the bill's progress uncertain.
