Lapid: "There are 4 members in the coalition with conflicts of interest - they cannot vote on the Deri law" (Knesset Channel)
The judges' complaints commissioner will not be responsible for judges in the rabbinical courts;
A basic Torah study law will be promoted to solve the crisis of recruiting ultra-Orthodox for the IDF; the courts will be given jurisdiction over economic and civil disputes; the Institute for Forensic Medicine in Abu Kabir will be closed on Shabbat - and the status quo will be maintained at the Western Wall and it will be managed under the authority of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel and the Holy Places. These are just a few Additional clauses that the Likud concluded with the ultra-Orthodox parties - Shas and Torah Judaism and appear in the draft coalition agreement that is expected to be signed in the coming days.
The decision to deny the authority of the Judges' Complaints Commissioner over the judges was made in light of a demand by Shas following a request by the Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef who harshly criticized the incumbent Commissioner, retired Judge Uri Shoham, who published audit reports against him following his conduct during the term.
Rabbi Yosef claimed that Shoham did this for personal and extraneous motives.
In his weekly lesson last month, Rabbi Yosef told one of the members of the Shas Knesset: "Impeach him, put him in his place some dayan." The coalition agreement states that Dayan will be responsible for auditing the judges in the rabbinical courts.

In addition to this, a decision was made according to which the government will act on legislation authorizing the rabbinic courts to adjudicate according to Torah law as an arbitrator in civil matters as well as in civil matters, "with the consent of the parties".
This means that the courts will receive powers that up until now only the courts had.
The ultra-Orthodox have not yet reached final agreements on the issue of the exemption from enlistment in the IDF for those whose "Torah is their art" - but in the draft coalition agreement it was stipulated that 60 days after the establishment of the government a fundamental law proposal will be promoted: the study of the Torah. This is a proposal designed to block from the High Court the possibility of canceling the the law and make the study of the Torah in the yeshiva a protected value in the constitution so that the judges will have to take it into account and will not be able to invalidate the exemption law due to a violation of equality.

In addition to this, the Institute of Forensic Medicine will be closed on Saturday, similar to the situation that was customary until 2020. This is a decision intended to cancel another decision of the outgoing government according to which the working days of the institute will be extended, this following a demand by the Chief Minister and MKs from the joint list to allow autopsies to be held on weekends thus making it easier for Muslim families and allowing immediate burial in accordance with religious custom.
At the same time, it was agreed, the opening of a new institute in the northern region that would also operate on weekends will be examined.
In the draft agreement there is also a reference to the issue of prayers at the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
According to the agreements, no changes will be made in the main prayer area, and there will be two places - for men and women only.
The mixed extension that currently exists south of the Western Wall will not undergo any changes and the central extension will be managed subject to the instructions of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel and the Rabbi of the Western Wall and the Holy Places, and if necessary, legislation will be promoted for the purpose of enforcing the law and procedures there.
This is a decision that may anger the women of the Kotel as well as the reformist and conservative currents due to a long struggle that led to the arrangement of a mixed prayer area, subject to a government decision made by the Netanyahu government but finally canceled due to pressure from the ultra-Orthodox on representatives of Shas and Torah Judaism.
