The ultra-Orthodox have agreed to compromise on raising the Likud's fines, but are trying to thwart it
The faction leaders decided to try and prevent the increase of the fines for violating the corona guidelines, even in the softened format, by evading the approval of agreements reached.
At the Torah Judaism Yeshiva, some of those present argued that there was no point in moving after the decline in morbidity in the sector, and others said that it would harm the opening of ultra-Orthodox educational institutions.

NEWS. Although agreements have been reached to open businesses, educational institutions and events. The faction leaders are also interested in avoiding the softening damage to the sector they represent and thwarting the move completely.

The agreements were reached after a meeting between the heads of Torah Judaism - Minister of Construction and Housing Yaakov Litzman, MK Moshe Gafni and Chairman of the Constitution Committee, MK Yaakov Asher - with the Speaker of the Knesset.
The parties met following the ultra-Orthodox's opposition to the original bill to increase the fines, which set a fine of NIS 20,000 for opening an educational institution or holding events and NIS 10,000 for opening businesses.
After threatening not to vote with the coalition, the proposal was removed from the agenda.
Since then, talks have begun between the Likud and the heads of the ultra-Orthodox factions, during which Levin proposed a compromise, the details of which were revealed earlier this month in Walla!
NEWS.
Under the proposal, police officers alone would be able to distribute fines of 7,500 to ten thousand shekels for each violation, but only under certain conditions such as after a warning or an unreasonable violation.
However, regular police officers will be able to continue distributing fines of NIS 5,000 for the violations, similar to the current situation.

Last week, Defense Minister Bnei Gantz sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanding that the increase in fines be put to a vote in the Knesset, in accordance with the original outline agreed in the Cabinet almost two months ago.
"Failure to implement the Cabinet decision impairs our ability to fight disease, open up the economy and increase the enforcement tools at our disposal," Ganz said.
Despite his request, the outline was not submitted to the Knesset for approval, and the ultra-Orthodox factions estimated at the time that Gantz's letter came in response to Shas chairman Aryeh Deri, who accused him of "crossing a red line for political reasons" when he announced the establishment of a submarine investigation committee. .
The increase in fines is not aimed at the ultra-Orthodox public, but their representatives in the Knesset and the government oppose it, especially in light of the opening of most educational institutions in the ultra-Orthodox sector, boys and girls, even at a time when their opening was banned.
Also, the resistance came in the wake of underground events and weddings.
