The call with Hirsch, conducted in English due to his American background, was described as long and substantive. Netanyahu’s own advisers reportedly had difficulty following the conversation, leaving the prime minister to speak directly and privately with the rabbi. The follow-up call with the Belz Rebbe lasted approximately 20 minutes.

According to sources familiar with the details, Netanyahu urged the rabbis to avoid issuing public threats or setting deadlines. He emphasized that the coalition was working to reach a draft law compromise and warned that ultimatums could derail those efforts.

At a meeting, the urgent need to formalize the legal status of yeshiva students to allow them to continue their Torah studies without disruption was emphasized, according to the rabbis' offices.
