Netanyahu Promises Fast Track for Ultra-Orthodox Draft-Related Bills After Voting Boycott

What happened

Netanyahu told ultra-Orthodox parties that draft-related legislation will move quickly next week, after their voting boycott forced the Knesset to cancel a session. Legal officials, however, say the arrest-related bill is unlikely to pass legal muster, while protests against draft-arrest enforcement disrupted traffic across Israel.

• 01Netanyahu promised fast-track action on a Torah study Basic Law and an arrest bill.
• 02Ultra-Orthodox lawmakers boycotted voting until they saw progress, prompting a Knesset session cancellation.
• 03Legal officials said the arrest bill likely would not survive High Court review.
• 04Haredi protesters drove from 19 locations toward Prison 10 near Beit Lid, snarling traffic.
