Yashar leader Benny Gantz's opponent, Benny Eisenkot, has vowed to not compromise on the IDF draft law, including for the Haredim community, if he is elected as Prime Minister. According to The Times of Israel, Eisenkot made this statement amidst a continued deadlock between the blocs. This development may impact the formation of the government, with Eisenkot mentioning that a minority government would be 'bad' but may be required as a 'last resort'.
A recent poll shows the continued deadlock between the blocs, which may lead to a minority government. Eisenkot's statement on the IDF draft law is significant, as it may affect the Haredim community's participation in the IDF. The Times of Israel reports that Eisenkot's stance on this issue may influence his ability to form a government.
The IDF draft law has been a contentious issue in Israeli politics, particularly with regards to the Haredim community's exemption from military service. The current deadlock between the blocs has made it challenging to form a government, and Eisenkot's statement may further impact the political landscape.
