Israeli Defense Minister won't back Haredi draft proposal, calls on broad consensus

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says that he won't support Haredi draft proposal being submitted this week on March 26.

"My position has not changed. I will not be a party to any proposal that isn't agreed upon by all coalition factions — and under my leadership, the security system will not submit it for legislation," Galant said.

He called on the prime minister and minister Benny Gantz to "take advantage of the time before the April 1 deadline and forge a broad consensus on the issue of the conscription law, for the benefit of the IDF and the benefit of the State of Israel.
