MK Gilad Kariv, a member of Yair Golan's party (The Democrats), clarified in an interview with 103FM that his party will not give up on the principle of equality of burden and will oppose a blanket exemption from military service for Haredim. Kariv called for quickly forming a change government based on the change bloc and Ra'am, ignoring Avigdor Lieberman's opposition. He emphasized that every day Benjamin Netanyahu serves as prime minister is a danger to Israel. Kariv expressed willingness to compromise with the Haredi parties if they enter into genuine negotiations, but ruled out a blanket exemption.
