Rabbi Dov Lando, chairman of Degel HaTorah’s ruling Council of Torah Sages, orders the Haredi faction’s lawmakers to get ready for a potential weeklong delay on a preliminary vote to dissolve the Knesset, pending agreement “on the acute matter of the timetable for legislation” that would enshrine broad exemptions to mandatory military service for the ultra-Orthodox community.
According to Hebrew media reports, opposition lawmakers intend to go forward with the vote on the bill to dissolve the Knesset, the first of several plenum readings it would have to first clear before the parliament disbands and new elections are called.
