REPORT: Lieberman Drops Veto on Coalition With Chareidi Parties, Opening Door to UTJ Talks
A reported shift could open coalition discussions with United Torah Judaism, but no agreement to form a government has been confirmed.
Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Lieberman has reportedly dropped his veto on joining a government with chareidi parties, potentially opening the door to coalition discussions with United Torah Judaism.
Reports Thursday said the opposition bloc was discussing the possibility of a more lenient military conscription law as part of those talks.
The reported shift could remove an obstacle to discussions between the opposition bloc and UTJ. It does not establish that the parties have agreed to form a government or settled the details of a conscription bill.
Neither Yisrael Beytenu nor United Torah Judaism had a response included in the initial report. No final coalition agreement has been confirmed.
