Ultra-Orthodox military exemption endangers Netanyahu's coalition. A decision from the Supreme Court forces the prime minister to quickly forge an agreement.

The issue, very emotional in Israel, adds pressure to advance the elections. Both parties have broad political consensus in the face of the war. If Netanyahu now pushes for an agreement that significantly increases enlistment, he will likely lose the support of the ultra-Or Orthodox (18 of the 64 deputies of the original coalition) Among those who would lose is Benny Gantz, whom all polls show as clear winner in any early elections.
