The leader of the Lithuanian Haredi community, Rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch, spoke with the son of the Gur Rebbe, Rabbi Nechemia Alter, saying they are considering the possibility that the Degel HaTorah party will leave the government coalition due to lack of progress on the draft law. Hirsch said that before making a decision on the matter, he will consult with other Haredi leaders and party lawmakers.
