The article examines the possibility of forming a left-Haredi government headed by Avigdor Lieberman, detailing the many obstacles in the way. Among the difficulties: divisions within the Haredi public, with only five out of 13 Haredi MKs currently recruited for the move; the rabbis' stance, who are expected to demand answers regarding the proposed temporary order; legal hurdles from the Attorney General and other parties who have previously expressed firm positions against an exemption from conscription; and political rivalries between Lieberman and Gadi Eisenkot and Naftali Bennett, who may try to oust him. The article notes that just over 30 days remain for the scenario to materialize, and also mentions expected opposition from Likud and right-wing parties, as well as possible frustration from the Arab parties.
