What happened
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s effort to advance the “Basic Law: Torah Study” was delayed after the Knesset legal adviser said the bill was submitted improperly. The proposal, which would grant Torah students broad rights and benefits similar to those of IDF servicemembers, will not be voted on this week. Political assessments say it currently lacks a guaranteed majority in the Knesset.
