Israel Elections 2026

As Netanyahu works to block an Eisenkot government, Likud officials concede privately that if UTJ gets an acceptable draft arrangement, “all that remains is to put our trust in God.”

It won’t be a surprise if we discover, with Netanyahu potentially out of the picture, that he wasn’t really the problem but just a convenient scapegoat for widespread anti-Israel sentiment.

UTJ could pave the way for Shas to join an Eisenkot coalition, acting as its "Shabbos goy" while the Sephardi haredi party seeks to avoid alienating pro-Netanyahu voters.

Liberman's 2018 haredi draft plan is back in focus. How does it compare to Bismuth's bill on recruitment quotas, sanctions, and IDF manpower needs?

"Being willing to compromise does not mean giving up values and principles," Liberman said, responding to criticism of his previous statements that he would be flexible about a haredi draft law.
