Israel opposition figure makes U-turn on ultra-Orthodox draft to oust Netanyahu

Israel ·

The opposition figure's softer stance on military service for ultra-Orthodox men could open the way to a coalition against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The political deadlock is attributed to a polarised electorate after the recent elections.

Benjamin Netanyahu has been a dominant figure in Israeli politics for decades. Exemptions for ultra-Orthodox men from military conscription have long been a divisive issue in Israeli politics.
