Meeting between Netanyahu, Haredi parties on conscription law ends without agreement being reached
An hours-long meeting about the ultra-Orthodox conscription bill between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and representatives of the Haredi United Torah Judaism and Shas parties has come to an end without either side agreeing on what the proposal should look like, Hebrew media reports.
Earlier in the day, it was reported that UTJ had threatened to leave the government should the proposal include annual recruitment targets for yeshiva students and financial penalties for Haredi educational institutions that don’t meet those quotas.
