Members of the United Torah Judaism party’s Degel Hatorah faction are currently meeting with representatives of the Sephardic Shas party to discuss the ongoing negotiations to find a solution to the enlistment crisis, the ultra-Orthodox Behadrei Haredim news site reports.
According to Ynet, Shas is currently placing pressure on the Degel HaTorah faction within UTJ to withdraw its support for measures to dissolve the Knesset for at least another week in order to provide Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with more time to broker an agreement.
