Ultra-Orthodox concerned conscription bill may be victim of coalition compromise
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAs the coalition appears to draw back from the brink of early elections, ultra-Orthodox lawmakers are convening in the Knesset to raise concerns over the compromise reached by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other coalition partners. The deal says the ultra-Orthodox-backed conscription bill will move forward, but not all coalition lawmakers will be required to vote for it.
Haredi lawmakers, led by United Torah Judaism chief Yaakov Litzman, say that could mean the law won’t pass its first of three votes this week as promised by the PM.
