Opposition moves to dissolve Knesset amid Draft Law deadlock

Opposition parties in Israel’s Knesset announced plans to submit a bill on Wednesday to dissolve the government, amid growing tensions over the failure to pass a new law exempting ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students from military service.

In a joint statement, opposition leaders said the decision to advance the dissolution bill was unanimous and binding across all factions.

“In coordination between all factions, it was decided to remove other legislative efforts from the agenda to focus entirely on one goal: toppling the government,” the statement read.

The political crisis deepened after leading ultra-Orthodox rabbis urged coalition parties Shas and United Torah Judaism (UTJ) to withdraw from the government over the lack of progress on the exemption legislation.

Yeshiva exemptions used to be a relatively few. Now it's thousands. Ultra-Orthodox are very under-represented in IDF service, proportionately, and the IDF needs more people.

Opposition's bill to disperse the Knesset fails as Haredi factions disagree over draft agreement​

The vote on the bill to dissolve the Knesset concluded in the Knesset plenum in the early hours of Thursday morning, and after 61 MKs voted against and 53 voted in favor, the Knesset will not be dissolved.

This comes after a busy night of negotiations between Benjamin Netanyahu and Yuli Edelstein over the haredi draft law.

The Haredim threatened to vote in favor of dispersing the Knesset if they could not come to a satisfactory agreement. As the night went on and negotiations began to look more favorable, Rabbi Dov Landau suggested that there would be a possibility of postponing the vote by a week.
