The Council of Torah Sages of the Agudat Yisrael faction of the haredi United Torah Judaism Party is currently meeting in Jerusalem to discuss a bill to regulate haredi induction into the Israel Defense Forces, in light of the political crisis surrounding the bill that could lead to additional elections.
For now, it is not clear what decision will emerge from the meeting. The questions on the table are whether to legitimize the proposed law and demand changes or to oppose it altogether. Observers say the fact that Chairman Avigdor Liberman of the Yisrael Beytenu Party - a proponent of the bill - is sending the message that he is leaning toward new elections makes it even more difficult to make decisions.
