PM expected to postpone discussion on Tal Law

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to postpone the planned government discussion on the extension of the Tal Law, aimed at regulating yeshiva students' exemption from IDF service, following the objection of Ministers Avigdor Lieberman and Ehud Barak.

Netanyahu sought to extend the law by five years, while Barak demanded a one-year extension and Lieberman strongly objected the law. (Attila Somfalvi)
