Israel Coalition Shake-Up: Netanyahu Loses Majority After Ultra Orthodox Ally Quits On Conscription

A key partner in Benjamin Netanyahu’s government says it is quitting, dealing a major blow to the Israeli prime minister that could leave him heading a minority coalition in parliament. The ultra-Orthodox Shas party said that it was leaving the cabinet in protest against lawmakers’ failure to guarantee future exemption from military conscription for religious students. Without Shas, Netanyahu’s coalition would have 50 seats in the 120-seat Knesset. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
