Netanyahu: We're working on 10,000 Haredi soldiers "in two years"
With one day left before the government is set to begin to disband, Prime Minister Netanyahu released a statement claiming Israel is on the brink of a historic compromise on the draft.
Prime Minister Netanyahu said in a video released today (Tuesday) that "our best people" are working to bring about a draft law that is "good for the State of Israel."
Netanyahu said that the law would be based on respecting and not showing contempt for Torah students, a "value" of the Jewish People, while also bringing in "thousands" of soldiers into the ranks of the IDF, over 10,000 in the first two years alone, a number Netanyahu claims is historically unprecedented.
The clock is ticking on whether a compromise on the draft can be reached before tomorrow, when the Haredi parties are set to bring down the government and start the process for new elections in a few months.
