Netanyahu coalition jeopardised over ultra-Orthodox exemption from army

The article discusses the political tension in Israel over the exemption of ultra-Orthodox Jews from military service. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition government is facing potential instability due to disagreements on this issue. The ultra-Orthodox parties, key members of Netanyahu's coalition, are pushing to maintain the exemption, arguing that their community's religious studies are a form of national service. However, opposition parties and some within Netanyahu's own Likud party are advocating for equal conscription, especially in light of the ongoing security challenges. This debate has led to threats of coalition partners withdrawing support, which could lead to the government's collapse or force early elections. The situation is further complicated by recent security escalations, including attacks by Hamas, which have intensified the debate over national service obligations.
