Crisis intensifies in Israeli cabinet as Netanyahu visits US

Pars Today - As the Israeli prime minister visits the US, the Haredi parties have threatened to completely boycott the Knesset if the draft Military Service Law is not presented to them by today.

According to the Zionist daily Ma'ariv, the Haredi parties in Netanyahu's cabinet coalition insisted on seeing a copy of the draft amendment to the Military Service Law before his visit to the US. This is while the bills proposed by the cabinet will be presented in a public session, including the bill to dissolve the Knesset for second and third readings.

According to the Zionist newspaper, the boycott of the vote and the absence of the Haredi parties may accelerate the collapse of the cabinet coalition and lead to early elections. /IRNA
