MK Moshe Gafni (United Torah Judaism) stated Tuesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud party committed to bringing the daycare funding law for yeshiva students to a Knesset vote, and warned he would not accept any delay or backtracking, according to Amit Segal (N12).
MK Moshe Gafni (United Torah Judaism) issued a firm statement Tuesday afternoon reiterating what he described as a commitment by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud party to bring the daycare funding bill for yeshiva students to a Knesset vote. Gafni, speaking in his capacity as chairman of the Degel HaTorah faction, said: "There was a commitment by the Prime Minister and Likud to bring the daycare law for approval. We insist on this forcefully and will not accept any delay or retreat from it." The statement follows reports last week that the coalition had postponed the vote on the bill, triggering a confrontation between UTJ and senior Likud officials. According to Amit Segal (N12), Gafni's remarks come amid coalition efforts to manage the legislative calendar without triggering a crisis with UTK's haredi partners.
