Government to ask court for 7-month extension on ultra-Orthodox draft bill

The government plans to ask the High Court of Justice to delay its deadline for passage of a new ultra-Orthodox draft bill by seven months, from September 1 to April 1 next year.

The request comes as the Knesset is set to conclude its parliamentary business on July 19, ahead of that weekend and the official end of the spring term on July 22. It will only reconvene in mid-October.
