Netanyahu's ultra-Orthodox alliance shows signs of fracture before crucial election

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has historically depended on ultra-Orthodox parties like United Torah Judaism (UTJ) and Shas for political support. However, as Netanyahu prepares for a challenging election, tensions are rising within his coalition due to disputes over military conscription requirements for ultra-Orthodox Jewish men. This issue has sparked significant discontent among ultra-Orthodox communities, leading some to question the continued loyalty of these parties to Netanyahu. Pnina Pfeuffer, representing a civil society organization focused on ultra-Orthodox communities, noted growing frustration and suggested that these parties might consider aligning with Netanyahu's main rival, Gadi Eisenkot, in the upcoming election.
