Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will bring the leaders of the ultra-orthodox factions to a meeting on the conscription law this morning (Tuesday), an hour before the assembly of the government.
The ministers of Torah Judaism are considering opposing the government's decision, which includes recruitment targets and financial sanctions for yeshivas.
Minister of Justice Yariv Levin is also expected to participate in the meeting.
Netanyahu told government ministers yesterday that "the ultra-orthodox opposition shows that this is a good outline", and the law will undergo significant changes until it is approved by the Knesset.
However, political parties claimed that it was a declaratory objection and the ultra-Orthodox are relatively satisfied with the apparent decision.

In its decision today, the government will present a timetable for the legislation of the conscription law, according to which, the memorandum of the law will be published to the public no later than April 21, will be submitted to the government for approval by May 19, and within a month from then, by June 29, will be approved in three readings in the Knesset.
The decision that the government is expected to approve this week includes principles that will be an introduction to the legislation but not the details of the law itself.
Yesterday it was announced that the coalition is inclined to give up on raising the age of exemption from conscription from 26 to 35.
At the beginning of the week, the legal advice conveyed to the government secretariat substantial reservations about the wording of the decision-makers' proposal, and the ombudsman Gali Beharve-Miara announced that she would have difficulty defending it both due to a violation of the principle of equality, and Due to the heavy burden already placed on the servants due to the Iron Swords War.

Opposition leader Yair Lapid said in response to the amendment to the government's decision regarding the conscription law that "this is a transparent fraud. Raising the exemption age to 35 was always a 'goat' intended to hide the fact that the evasion law has no conscription obligation, no economic sanctions, and not even one ultra-Orthodox will be conscripted. The law This is a disgrace and an insult to the fighters."
