MK Nissim Vaturi (Likud) intensified his rhetoric against the political left in a statement posted to his the source Tuesday evening, saying that the left's ambition is to establish concentration camps for the ultra-Orthodox. He argued that Haredi parties boycotting coalition meetings have no alternative because the left, in his assessment, offers them no real option. The remarks come as tensions over the military draft bill and Haredi enlistment continue to roil the coalition. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, Vaturi had previously warned Haredi parties that they face no alternative but sabotage coalition. The statement was not accompanied by additional context or a press release.
