A new coalition agreement will shelve the so-called 'Knesset bill' (חוק המעונות) and instead legislate a portion of the military draft law to prevent the arrest of yeshiva students, according to a report by Amit Segal (N12). The move is intended to resolve a coalition crisis over the ultra-Orthodox draft exemption.
According to a Monday evening report by Amit Segal (N12), the coalition has reached a new framework: the 'Knesset bill' (a law regulating daycare subsidies) will be shelved, and in its place, a portion of the military conscription bill will be advanced. The portion selected would provide legal protection for yeshiva students against arrest for draft evasion, effectively resolving a long-running coalition crisis over universal conscription and ultra-Orthodox exemptions. The report is based on a single coalition source; no official confirmation has been issued as of Monday night.
