FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Shaul Mofaz, the head of Kadima, threatened on July 2 to leave the coalition unless amendments were made to the Tal Law, which exempts ultra-Orthodox Jews from serving in the army as long as they are engaged in full-time religious studies.
“If Netanyahu does not keep his promises, then the crisis is going to be severe and there will not be a partnership. There is no middle ground here,” Mofaz said.
Kadima, which holds the largest number of seats in Israel’s parliament, joined the coalition in May, and agreed to support Netanyahu in return for changes to the Tal Law.
On July 2, Netanyahu dissolved the Plesner Committee, which was created to replace the Tal Law, over divisions among its members.
The Tal Law was scheduled to be replaced by August 2012, when it is due to expire.
“The committee was established as part of the (unity) agreement between Kadima and Likud, so the unilateral dissolution of the committee by Netanyahu does not bind Kadima,” Mofaz said.
On Tuesday, Shelly Yachimovich, the leader of the Labor party, also censured Likud and Kadima, which “created a giant coalition that is unable to achieve a thing including reaching an agreement on the Tal Law.”
More than 60,000 ultra-Orthodox men are currently exempt from mandatory military service. The exemptions and a refusal to enter the workforce by them have angered the Israeli general public.
Israeli men are required to serve three years in the military, while women serve two years.
