Ultra-Orthodox party threatens to quit coalition over IDF enlistment bill
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUnited Torah Judaism party head Yaakov Litzman is threatening to quit the coalition if the bill formalizing military enlistment for ultra-Orthodox students is passed by the Knesset.
“We must reach a situation so that anyone who wants to study in a yeshiva in Israel can do so undisturbed,” he says. “If the draft law passes, we will leave the coalition.”
Litzman’s threat comes hours before MKs are due to hold a first vote on the contentious legislation, which has pitted the Knesset’s opposition parties against each other.
