The opposition submitted approximately 6,000 reservations to the Basic Law: Torah Study on Thursday morning, according to Knesset reporter Stein. The Likud party also submitted reservations. The Knesset Committee handling the bill will begin voting on the opposition's reservations first, a procedural move intended to buy time for coalition negotiations over the bill's wording. The Basic Law: Torah Study, which seeks to enshrine a permanent draft exemption for full-time Torah scholars, has been a flashpoint in Israeli politics. It passed a preliminary Knesset vote on June 10 and was approved by the Knesset Committee on June 30, as The Zioneer reported. The opposition has consistently used mass reservations as a filibuster tactic, having previously submitted thousands of reservations to other coalition bills. The coalition is racing to advance the legislation before the Knesset dissolves for elections.
