"Netanyahu's Plan to End Gaza Conflict and Conscript Ultra-Orthodox Sparks Coalition Crisis"
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that holding general elections would end the Hamas-Israel War, urging a compromise on the haredi draft law issue to avoid elections. He emphasized the need for unity and criticized the potential paralysis of government operations during a war. Opposition leaders Yair Lapid and Avigdor Liberman criticized Netanyahu's speech, calling for government responsibility and an end to exemptions on mandatory military service. Tension on the haredi draft issue has escalated following a High Court hearing and an ultimatum from Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
