Negotiations between the "Change Bloc" and ultra-Orthodox parties are far more advanced than publicly perceived, according to political sources cited by Kan News on Tuesday. The sources indicate rapid progress in reaching agreements, with the "Change Bloc" showing willingness to form a government even before passing a conscription law. Naftali Bennett, chairman of the Yamina party, may play a decisive role in the negotiations, though he is not directly participating in the current talks.
One key demand from the ultra-Orthodox parties, reportedly relayed to Defense Minister, is a freeze on legislation concerning religion and state throughout the term of the next government. This includes demands regarding budgets for ultra-Orthodox education, kashrut reform, and public transportation on Shabbat.
Among the "Change Bloc's" election pledges that United Torah Judaism seeks assurances against advancing are: legislation for civil unions, transferring authority for public transportation on Shabbat to local authorities, making 100% core curriculum studies a condition for funding educational institutions, reinstating a canceled kashrut reform, a conversion reform, reversing gender segregation in academia approved by the previous Knesset, and canceling a law expanding the authority of rabbinical courts. United Torah Judaism wants the Minister of Defense to commit to shelving these pledges at the outset of negotiations.
