The Moetzet Chachmei HaTorah of Shas will convene later this week to discuss the draft law crisis.
Kikar HaShabbat has learned that the Moetzet will likely convene on Wednesday or Thursday to discuss the conscription crisis and instruct Shas to withdraw from the government this week.
Shas party officials are coordinating a date and time for the meeting.
Senior officials in the Chareidi parties told Kikar that it was clarified yesterday that MK Yuli Edelstein, chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, delayed the submission of the conscription law text with various excuses but behind the scenes worked to bring a law contrary to the agreements reached before Operation Rising Lion.
Also, the Chareidi parties estimate that it will not be possible to pass the law during the summer recess, which mean that when the Knesset winter session begins, the Knesset will be dissolved and Israel will go to elections.

the faster they leave this anti Torah government committed to shmad of Torah learners the better
Do they really believe their voters to be total imbeciles? It’s a meaningless trick now. A few weeks ago, when they had an option to vote no-confidence and bring down the government, they didn’t. Now another no-confidence vote couldn’t be held for 6 months or so, and the Knesset is on a recess till after the holidays. So it costs them nothing, and when needed, they will quietly rejoin.
