Barak: Any government that we’re a partner to will pull Haredi draft law within 12 months

Speaking at a Tel Aviv press conference with fellow members of his new party, former prime minister Ehud Barak says any government his party joins will cancel the Haredi draft law within 12 months.

Barak puts forth an “integration plan,” which he claims will work to integrate ultra-Orthodox Israelis through national service programs rather than military service.
