Haredi parties' Knesset boycott to continue for third straight week

 https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/politics-and-diplomacy/article-854493

The haredi (ultra-Orthodox) boycott of Knesset plenum voting will continue for the third straight week, spokespeople from all three haredi factions (Shas, Degel Hatorah, and Agudat Yisrael) confirmed on Sunday.

The boycott’s intention is to pressure the government to proceed with a law proposal to regulate haredi service in the IDF, which will likely exempt a large portion of eligible haredi men.

The boycott has only been applied to preliminary votes on new laws and on new government laws, but not on laws that are already making their way through the legislative system.

  1. If Bibi had the guts, he'd use the boycott to pass the draft law with the help of the centre left
