The chareidi parties in the current administration have enjoyed many successes, focusing on reversing the damage caused by the previous administration, the Yesh Atid/Bayit Yehudi and Likud coalition that passed so much anti-chareidi legislation into law.

There are now fears that due to the numerous investigations against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, he may in fact have to step down at some point and the chareidim are stepping-up efforts to actualize the remaining coalition agreements that have yet been carried out.

One major area includes school funding as the chareidi parties are working to reverse the decisions of former Education Minister (Yesh Atid) Shai Piron. It is reported that while current Education Minister Naftali Bennett has promised action on a number of occasions, he is yet to make good on those promises.
