Ultra-Orthodox lawmakers announce they will resume their boycott of private member bills submitted by coalition MKs until a new version of the draft exemption law is brought forward and passed, Channel 12 reports.

The move increases pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is reportedly working to resolve the crisis and present an agreed-upon version of the law that would grant continued military service exemptions to yeshiva students.
