Figures in United Torah Judaism are proposing the establishment of a minority government headed by Gadi Eisenkot, which will rely on the party's external support. According to the outline, UTJ will remain outside the government but will abstain in votes and not vote against the government and legislation. Additionally, Eisenkot will have the eight votes of Ra'am at his disposal. A source in UTJ told N12: "We will get nothing from Netanyahu. Our alliance with him is exhausted." These comments align with the letter from the Lithuanian leader Rabbi Dov Lando about dismantling the Netanyahu bloc. A significant obstacle is the issue of Haredi conscription, as there is no chance Eisenkot will allow an exemption on the scale UTJ demands. However, some believe that through dialogue, a conscription law acceptable to the Haredim can be advanced. Also important is maintaining budgets for private education systems. At this stage, contacts are taking place only at low levels.
