MK Moshe Tur-Paz (Yesh Atid) has formally requested the Knesset legal adviser's opinion on the proposed Basic Law: Torah Study, detailing three specific constitutional concerns in his request, according to a report by Eli Hirshman. The request, first reported by The Zioneer at 23:45, now includes the full list of issues: the bill would grant Haredim absolute constitutional protection from IDF and civilian service, allow Haredi schools to entirely omit core curriculum, and enable coalition fund transfers without transparency or equal criteria. The legal adviser's response is awaited. The Basic Law: Torah Study has been a recurring flashpoint in coalition politics, with critics arguing it elevates Torah study above national service.
