Aryeh Deri sets a condition for the formation of the next government: The draft exemption law
Published
Shas party chairman Aryeh Deri has recently set a clear and new condition for the formation of the next government in Israel. According to him, the Shas party will not agree to be part of a future government unless a draft exemption law for yeshiva students is approved first.
The issue of conscription into the IDF has been at the center of public and political debate in Israel for a long time. Deri emphasized in an interview that, as far as his party is concerned, regulating the status of Torah scholars is a necessary condition for continuing the coalition partnership. This is the first time that Deri has declared this in such a direct and public manner.
Shas's demand comes at a sensitive time when the political system is dealing with complex security and social challenges. The issue of conscription arouses deep controversy among the Israeli public, as it touches on questions of equality in the burden and service in the IDF for all citizens of the state.
Deri's statement is expected to influence future political negotiations and the stability of the next government. Now, it remains to be seen how the other coalition partners will respond to this demand, and how politicians will attempt to bridge the gaps on this sensitive issue.
