Israel’s governing coalition is facing legislative hurdles as a boycott by ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) members of Knesset continues for a second consecutive day. The boycott centers on a dispute over the reinstatement of daycare subsidies for ultra-Orthodox men who avoid mandatory military service—known as draft evaders. Degel HaTorah, a key Haredi party, has stated they will not compromise and refuse to accept any further delays in addressing the issue. As a result, legislation has been removed from the Knesset plenum agenda, jeopardizing the coalition’s planned rapid passage of bills. The ongoing standoff raises questions about the stability of the coalition and its ability to advance its policy priorities. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between religious and secular factions within Israeli society regarding military service and government funding. Further negotiations are expected to resolve the impasse.
