The chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee is inclined not to submit the draft of the military service exemption bill today, despite pressure from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. There is even a possibility that Netanyahu will fire him. United Torah Judaism is sending a pessimistic message that "there is no breakthrough" and estimate: "heading toward resignation." Similar statements were made by Shas. Additionally, an ultra-Orthodox source said, "Edelstein is confusing everyone, including Netanyahu in the last hour."
