First, Likud and Bayit Yehudi will decide on whether they need to insist on drafting yeshiva students, and if no, they will be able to form a coalition with the Hareidim (right wing government, pro-settlements)

Second, If Likud and Bayit Yehudi refuse to compromise, Labor gets the chance to offer to cancel conscription in return for hareidi support, and has the opportunity to form a government including the hareidim, and probably the Arab parties (left wing government, anti-settlements, and perhaps very anti-settlements depending on how critical Arab support is)

Third, if neither major party offers to end Hareidi conscription, Labor and Likud will have to form a joint government, excluding most of the “left” and the “right”, which will proceed with the War on the Hareidim and suddently the Eidos Hareidos, Satmar, etc., replace Degel ha-Torah, Agudah and Shas as the leading force in hareidi politics.

N.B. A likely option for those wanting to end Hareidi conscription is to switch Israel to a professional/volunteer army, similar to the USA and most western democracies (other than Switzerland).

Also, a Prime minister whose negotiating skills are that of a child, who even Livni can take to the cleaners.

Good thing you can’t vote!

are you nuts?

The only way they can avoid including the hareidim (whose price will be cancelling the draft law) is for a Likud-Labor coaltion, and even that might not be possible.
