Shas says Liberman using draft law as excuse to topple right-wing government

The ultra-Orthodox Shas party releases a statement accusing Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman of using legislation regulating exemptions from mandatory military service for yeshiva students “as an excuse to topple the right-wing government.”

“Mr. Liberman: We call on you to demonstrate responsibility… Do not drag Israel into a civil war,” Shas says. “Stop the wild incitement against a large public in Israel [ultra-Orthodox Jews] and fulfill your commitment to establish a right-wing government.”
