UTJ threatens to boycott coalition votes if bill maintaining daycare subsidies for Haredi draft evaders doesn’t advance

The ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism Party issues a public warning to the Likud party, warning that it will boycott all votes on coalition legislation if a bill guaranteeing the continuation of taxpayer-funded childcare subsidies for the Haredi community is not advanced on Wednesday.

The bill’s advancement is highly controversial amid the war in Gaza, given that the ultra-Orthodox community as a whole does not serve in the military.
