Minutes before expected start time, Netanyahu delays televised statement

Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

Minutes before it was scheduled to begin, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will delay his televised statement this evening, says his office, citing schedule demands.

It is unclear when the statement will take place tonight, or if it will be delayed until another day.

The statement will be about the attempts to pass a law on Haredi enlistment to the IDF and deferment, says the PMO.
