Israel's political stability faces a critical juncture as Netanyahu’s coalition loses a key ultra-Orthodox partner over military draft disagreements. With just 61 seats, Netanyahu’s government becomes increasingly fragile, especially amid the Gaza war and his ongoing corruption trial.
The ultra-Orthodox's exit signals rising tensions over conscription, a deeply divisive issue that could destabilize Netanyahu’s rule and influence ceasefire negotiations.
