Three coalition MKs — Sharren Haskel, Yuli Edelstein, and Dan Illouz — oppose the bill to exempt Haredi draft evaders from arrest, according to a report by N12's Dafna Liel. The Religious Zionism party supports the legislation.
The bill has been a flashpoint within the coalition. As The Zioneer reported Monday, coalition supporters of the bill had been wavering after a letter from IDF Chief of Staff. The Attorney General and Military Advocate General previously opposed the bill, arguing it creates a bypass around conscription law. Defense Minister Israel Katz has also been blocking its advancement, according to earlier reports.
The list of opponents within the coalition suggests the bill may face difficulty passing, though the full Likud position remains unclear. The opposition parties have also issued a joint call against the bill.
