Despite all the public statements about an unequivocal demand in the coalition negotiations, to enact the conscription law even before the formation of the government, in ‘Agudat Israel’ this morning they show an impressive folding and retreat | According to them: another fundamental law was reached, with greater importance First publication with all the details
Over the past few hours, the negotiating teams of Likud and Torah Judaism focused only on the issue of the conscription law. At the request of Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu, the parties were asked to first resolve the recruitment saga, in preparation for the completion of the other sections required for the signing of the agreements.
Until late last night, the contacts between Torah Judaism and Likud continued, so that at around 10:00 PM representatives of Torah Judaism left Netanyahu’s office in the Knesset with an almost final version of the conscription law, a version that will be finalized today.
According to the wording that came to ‘Ba Haderi Haredim’, it appears that Agudath Israel is folding after they initially presented an unequivocal demand to enact the Tal Law, then they demanded a wording stating that there would be no sanctions or targets in the conscription law, and last week they even demanded to enact the conscription law even before the establishment of the government but apparently tonight they folded and retracted and gave up these demands.
First publication: Torah Judaism and Likud formulate a compromise on the conscription law; The obvious wording
The recruitment crisis: Likud is fortifying, Aguda is threatening: “We will vote against the formation of the government”
The conscription law is at the heart of the dispute between Torah Judaism and Likud all the details
According to the wording, it will be agreed that “in light of the importance” of studying the Torah throughout the generations, a fundamental law for the study of the Torah will be enacted that regulates the study of the Torah as a supreme value in the heritage of the Jews, so that the conscription law itself, which was not agreed upon in the coalition agreements, whatever the wording will be, will be introduced only in preparation for the transfer of the budget for 2023.
The conclusion is that the conscription law will be introduced “with the consent of all the coalition parties” as they proposed at the beginning of the “Degal HaTorah”, in the compromise wording on the part of Agudat Yisrael it is stated that although it was necessary to address the issue of the conscription law even before the establishment of the government, but due to constraints a basic law on the value of learning Torah will be enacted And the conscription law will come until the next state budget is passed.
Agudath Israel, on the other hand, takes credit for the legislation of the basic law on the value of Torah study, and claims in their defense that the law is more important than one or another wording, when it is a historical law that will regulate the value of Torah study, in addition they clarify that when they come to draft the conscription law before the budget , they will make sure that there are no targets or sanctions in it
