Israel government shaken by ultra-Orthodox conscription row
Quick Glance: Netanyahu's Struggle for Political Survival
  • Netanyahu has until Sunday evening to present a fix to Israel’s controversial conscription law, as his failure could also mean the end of his government.

  • The ultra-Orthodox conscription issue divides Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, risking new elections where Likud would likely suffer significant losses according to polls.

  • The political crisis in Israel could pave the way for Benny Gantz as the new Prime Minister, with differing views on Gaza's political future and a Palestinian state.

  • Possible scenarios for the crisis include mass conscription of ultra-Orthodox men, internal rebellion within Likud, and the race against time to find a solution before the looming government crisis.
