Israeli Minister of Education Yoav Kisch stated in an interview that the ultra-Orthodox party United Torah Judaism should not consider leaving Prime Minister Netanyahu's bloc to form a government with the "change bloc," which he described as unlikely. Kisch emphasized that while the conscription law is a central task for the next government, it is not the only issue. He also highlighted the importance of the "world of Torah," expressing concern that if MK Naama Lazimi were to become Education Minister, it would question whether Israel remains a "Jewish state or a state of all its citizens."
Addressing claims from Degel HaTorah, an ultra-Orthodox faction, that the previous government failed to regulate the status of yeshiva students and disappointed the Haredi public, Kisch asserted that the government made significant efforts to advance the conscription law and pledged to pass it in the next government. However, he stressed that ultimately, political choices must be made, and the price of forming a government that alters the state's character is substantial.
Kisch also criticized left-wing parties for hypocrisy regarding military conscription, accusing them of attacking the government on draft evasion while Avigdor Lieberman now proposes the 2018 conscription law. He described the situation for Haredim during this period as difficult. Kisch concluded by questioning the wisdom of giving the opposition the "prize" of forming a government, stating he would not be able to do so.
