Despite the protests and uproar: This is how Likud assesses the conscription crisis will end

Likud assesses that the Haredi conscription crisis will not decide the elections. The party claims that Rabbi Landau's statements and the protest in Modi'in do not change the political picture, and that as election day approaches, public discourse will shift to security, economic, and political issues.

Likud assesses that the issue of Haredi conscription will not become a central topic in the upcoming elections. The party claims that Rabbi Landau's recycled statements and yesterday's protest in Modi'in, where dozens of Haredim prevented the arrest of a Haredi deserter, do not change the political picture. According to Likud sources, this is an attempt to create an artificial uproar around an issue that repeats itself every election cycle, but ultimately the public focuses on other matters. Likud's assessment is that as election day approaches, the public agenda will focus on security, economic, and political issues, not the conscription issue. Likud notes that the Haredi public itself is not flocking en masse to the extreme calls, and most are focused on daily life rather than confrontations with military authorities. Sources close to the Prime Minister say that Likud intends to continue the statesmanlike line of trying to reach an agreed arrangement on the conscription issue, but not to let the issue become the central focus of the campaign.
