Eisenkot's proposal to Haredim does not include a law before the government is sworn in

C14 has learned that the proposal conveyed to the Haredi parties in the negotiations to form an Eisenkot government does not include passing a draft law before the government is sworn in, but rather a freeze on arrests of yeshiva students for a limited period. The implication: the Haredim may allow the formation of a government without a legislative arrangement for the status of yeshiva students being guaranteed.

C14 has learned that the proposal conveyed to the Haredi parties in the negotiations to form an Eisenkot government does not include passing a draft law before the government is sworn in. Instead, a freeze on arrests of yeshiva students for a limited period is proposed, during which a permanent arrangement is supposed to be formulated. The implication is that the Haredi factions will be required to allow the formation of the government before a binding legislative solution to the conscription issue is reached. As reported by C14, Eisenkot has already met with MK Yaakov Asher of United Torah Judaism. The article notes that the Haredim may surrender their main bargaining chip already at the government's swearing-in, without receiving a draft law in return, and their ability to force the advancement of legislation afterward may be weakened.
