Netanyahu Under Pressure as Right-Wing Ally Threatens to Quit Coalition | Firstpost America | N18G

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu faces a major political crisis as a key right-wing ally threatens to quit his coalition unless a law is passed to exempt ultra-orthodox men from compulsory army service. This comes as the largest opposition party, led by former PM Yair Lapid, has filed a motion to dissolve parliament, triggering the threat of early elections. Ultra-Orthodox Jewish seminary students have been exempting from compulsory army service since Israel’s founding over seven decades ago. In 2024, Israel’s top court ruled that such exemptions are unconstitutional. With public anger rising over the Gaza war and hostages still in captivity, Netanyahu is under pressure from all sides — and polls show he may struggle to win if elections are held now. Watch to know more.
