Israeli Defence Minister Yair Liberman has expressed openness to negotiate a compromise on the Haredi draft law as part of the formation of a new government.
Israeli Defence Minister Yair Liberman said he is ready to discuss a compromise on the controversial Haredi draft law, a key issue in the upcoming coalition talks.
The law, which would exempt ultra‑orthodox men from mandatory military service, has long been a sticking point for parties seeking a broad coalition.
Liberman’s statement signals a potential shift in the government's stance, as the new administration must balance religious and secular interests to secure a majority in the Knesset.
