After months of deliberations, the Shaked Committee on Wednesday, 3 Adar II 5774 voted to pass the new chareidi draft bill. The next step for the bill is a second and third vote in Knesset and if it is approved it will be become law.
MK (Bayit Yehudi) Ayelet Shaked, who chaired the committee, states “the law was formulated with sensitivity and while listening to the needs of all of society while emphasizing the importance of going to work, military recruitment and Torah study. The law is beneficial to all population groups in that it reduces the burden of inequality and allows for the chareidi population and opportunity to integrate into Israeli society”.
Party officials added “Bayit Yehudi led by MK Ayelet Shaked made sure to enshrine in the law the preservation of the diversity of the world including the Zionist yeshivot gevohot and hesder from which generations of fighters emerge.”

So when the vote comes in the Kenesset, the many dati leumi in both Bayit Yehudi and Likud will have to take a stand. War or Peace. Achdus or Disintegration. HaShem or Herzl.
The Bnei Torah have survived a lot worse than anything likely to be encountered, but the zionists can only survive under a narrow range of conditions, and if the hareidim are forced to openly oppose the zionists, it will be the beginning of the end for the medinah.
