Shas MK Avraham Betzalel on Thursday appeared to dismiss threats to bring down the government issued by fellow ultra-Orthodox party United Torah Judaism, which has demanded the swift passage of a bill largely exempting yeshiva students from military service.

In the latest signal from Shas that the party would not support time-bound ultimatums issued by UTJ, Betzalel told Radio Kol Hai that there was no set date when the conscription law needed to be passed. Failure to pass the budget next month will trigger automatic elections.
