Cash or credit? The question that Yahadut HaTorah refuses to answer regarding Eisenkot

Yahadut HaTorah demands that Netanyahu pass the conscription law before opening coalition negotiations, but refuses to clarify whether it will set the same condition for Eisenkot. The party fears that if it joins an Eisenkot government before the law is approved, it may lose its main bargaining chip. The article notes that after the achievement of 19 seats in the elections, the Arab parties may provide a parliamentary safety net for an Eisenkot government, potentially leaving the Haredim outside the government and without the conscription law. The central question is whether Yahadut HaTorah will insist on the payoff upfront or settle for a future promise.
