The ultra-Orthodox parties - Shas and Torah Judaism - are expected to inform Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that they demand to include the recruitment and conversion laws in any political compromise reached with Blue and White for the continued existence of the government - both parties told Walla! NEWS today (Tuesday). If Netanyahu and Gantz reach an agreement on the budget issue, the ultra-Orthodox will also demand the approval of these two laws. The

issue of recruitment and conversion is not new, and they have been on the Knesset table for months.

In the coalition agreement of the Likud and Blue and White, Defense Minister Bnei Gantz pledged to advance the law as soon as possible.

"With the formation of the government, a law will be enacted to regulate the status of yeshiva students," the agreement said.

Torah Judaism claimed last night that "since eight months have passed and so far the defense minister has not fulfilled his explicit commitment to advance the law and has done everything to evade the agreement."

The party claimed that it considered it a "blatant violation of the coalition agreement by blue and white".

The leaders of the ultra-Orthodox parties have met with Ganz in recent weeks, but the latter has made it clear that he does not intend to promote the new law, as long as the government is unstable, and the election threat is hovering in the air.

In response, the ultra-Orthodox accused him of holding the law as a bargaining chip and a political guarantee "of the most cynical kind there is," as they put it.

The issue of conversion will also be raised by the ultra-Orthodox.

Shas and Torah Judaism fear the High Court's decision in the petitions currently being discussed, which recognizes Reform or Conservative conversions.

To curb such a possibility, the parties sought to promote a bill whereby only state conversions would be recognized by the state, in a way that would even block private Orthodox conversions.

Shas officials recently approached Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn, asking for the proposal to be approved by preliminary reading, but the latter evaded agreeing to it, and the law remained stuck, without consent. Yesterday the state through Interior Minister and Shas chairman Aryeh Deri was supposed to respond. Petitions seeking further recognition of conversions, but received an extension of her response by an additional two days.
