Amid the government crisis, and after rabbis instructed that without an exemption from military service law in the coming hours the ultra-Orthodox will withdraw from the coalition, a senior United Torah Judaism official told ynet that "if the Prime Minister comes to the Knesset now, and Edelstein brings a paper that is not what was agreed on the night of the Knesset dissolution - it's a sign that Netanyahu wants elections, and to go to them specifically over the conscription law." Netanyahu will arrive at the Knesset after the hearing in his Alpayim (thousands) cases trial.
