Given the convening of Ultra -Orthodox Jews announced by the Israeli army in the army, a religious party has left the Israeli government. It leaves the government because it has not defended the exceptional regulation for Ultraorthodox, said the United Torah Judaism (VTJ) Late on Monday evening. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has only the smallest possible majority of 61 seats.
The resignation of the VTJ must take effect 48 hours after the announcement. The second ultra -orthodox government party Shas said she wanted to advise her in the government in the government on Wednesday.
Given the “serious and unacceptable attacks on the status of Torah scholars”, this is necessary. If SHAS also left the government coalition, Netanyahu would lose the majority in the Knesset.
On Tuesday, Netanyahu called when visiting an army base, in which Ultra -Orthodox troops are stationed, called “to mobilize all forces of Jewish society to maintain and protect our people.”
Criticism of Ultra -Orthodox Party
However, the VTJ’s decision was extensive criticism. “These politicians try to prevent young Orthodox Jews from joining their heroic peers who defend the Israeli people with their lives,” said former Israeli head of the Naftali Bennett government.
The opposition politician Avigdor Lieberman accused the VTJ on X not to “think of the local hunters who need more colleague campaigners to share the load with them”.
Military service in Israel is mandatory
In Israel, military service is mandatory for men and women. For decades, an exemption had been made for ultra -orthodox Talmud students. This has been caused for a long time and after more than a year and a half war against the radical Islamic Hamas in the Gaza Strip is always controversial.
In June last year, the Supreme Court eventually ordered Ultra Orthodox. At the beginning of July this year, the Israeli army announced that it would send a total of 54,000 raging orders to Ultra Orthodox in the coming weeks. The 1.3 million Ultra -Orthodox Jews form around 14 percent of the Jewish population of Israel. Among them are 66,000 young men of military age.
