Liberman rejects PM’s ‘final offer’ on conscription bill as Haredim push back
Yisrael Beytenu rejects Netanyahu’s “final offer” on arrangements to pass the ultra-Orthodox conscription bill and to work with the ultra-Orthodox parties on the law, meaning that new elections look increasingly likely.
“Our offer is well known and is still valid,” the party says in a brief statement after Netanyahu presented party head Avigdor Liberman with what he said was his last effort to bring him into the coalition.
United Torah Judaism’s Yaakov Litzman has also rejected this “final offer,” with UTJ accusing Netanyahu of turning his back on them.
