After the Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fox sent a letter to the ministers, in which he announced the final cancellation of the cabinet meeting regarding the recruitment outline, the government is trying to find a solution to the crisis.
Senior officials in the coalition said that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is considering the possibility of not asking for an extension from the High Court, but asking the legal advisor to the government, Gali Beharev Miara, not to immediately deny the allowances upon the expiration of the decision exempting the ultra-Orthodox from conscription.
In doing so, the damage to the budgets will be gradual, since the Yeshiva are already relying on them in the current budget year.
As of writing these lines it is still unclear when the government's position on the issue will be submitted, in the last few hours the option arose that the government and the ombudsman would respond separately to the petition and the issue is currently being examined.

Sources in the ultra-orthodox parties said that the ombudsman clarified in the talks she had with them in recent days that if the government advances a decision to exempt ultra-orthedim from conscription like the one that was planned in recent days, she can ask the High Court that the cessation of budgets for yeshivot be gradual and possible only in two months, but now in the absence of such a decision it is doubtful If there is such a possibility.
