Likud offers Haredi party possible dates for early Knesset elections

The ruling Likud party has reportedly presented ultra-Orthodox coalition partners with several possible dates for the next Knesset elections, the Walla news site reports.

According to the report, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier today spoke on the matter with Moshe Gafni, leader of the Degel Hatorah faction in the United Torah Judaism (UTJ) party.

UTJ is said to assess that Netanyahu wants to pass a law on ultra-Orthodox draft to the IDF before the current Knesset is dissolved.

Likus denies the report, saying Netanyahu and Gafni arranged a meeting but “haven’t discussed a date for elections.”
