Political analyst Yaki Adamker reports that the coalition has failed to pass three key legislative promises to the Haredi parties: the military draft law, the daycare funding bill, and the Basic Law: Torah Study, which was approved only in declarative form. Additional budgets for Haredi education promised in coalition agreements were also not delivered. Adamker notes that the fate of the freeze on arrests of draft-dodging yeshiva students remains uncertain, and assesses that Shas and United Torah Judaism face a difficult campaign ahead of the next elections.
Political analyst Yaki Adamker reported Thursday that the coalition has failed to advance three key legislative promises to the Haredi parties. According to Adamker, the military draft law (חוק גיוס) and the daycare funding bill (חוק מעונות) did not pass, while the Basic Law: Torah Study was approved only in declarative form. Additional budgets for Haredi education, promised in coalition agreements, were also not delivered. Adamker noted that the fate of the freeze on arrests of draft-dodging yeshiva students remains uncertain, and assessed that Shas and United Torah Judaism face a difficult campaign ahead of the next Knesset elections.
The Zioneer has extensively covered the coalition's legislative standoff with the Haredi parties. Previous reports detailed repeated delays to the daycare bill, the Haredi parties' ultimatums, and the coalition's attempts to pass the Basic Law: Torah Study. The new assessment underscores the extent to which the coalition's commitments to its Haredi partners have gone unfulfilled as the Knesset session winds down.
The freeze on arrests law, if it fails to pass, would mark another setback for the Haredi parties, who have made the stop to enforcement of draft evasion a key demand.
