Netanyahu reportedly tells Haredi parties impossible for now to advance IDF draft law

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly told Haredi party leaders that he doesn’t believe it’s currently possible to advance legislation granting ultra-Orthodox men sweeping exemptions from IDF service.

“I don’t have any desire to get into new public disputes at this stage,” he is quoted as saying by the Walla news site during a meeting of coalition faction chiefs earlier today.
