Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will hold an extended discussion on the recruitment crisis this evening. The chairman of the state camp, Benny Gantz, informed the prime minister that he would not appear for tonight's hearing.

Netanyahu wants to approve at the upcoming cabinet meeting a decision that will extend the blanket exemption for the recruitment of yeshiva students without a legal basis. Gantz: "It's time for action and not for idle discussions that come together from moment to moment, without a clear platform, without content"
