Likud MK Dan Illouz slams the ultra-Orthodox Shas and United Torah Judaism parties’ threat to topple the government unless a law exempting yeshiva students from military service is passed immediately.

“Anyone who threatens to overthrow a right-wing government — in the midst of an existential war — just to avoid participating in that war will be remembered forever as a disgrace,” he tweets.
