Coalition Collapses As Netanyahu Admits Firing Officials For Draft Exemptions

⌨
Netanyahu's coalition government reached collapse as ultra-Orthodox rabbinical leaders severed all communication with the Prime Minister over military draft legislation. By morning, both major Haredi parties—United Torah Judaism and Shas—decided to support dissolving the Knesset after failed negotiations with Speaker Edelstein.

The crisis deepened when leaked recordings revealed Netanyahu's admission that he fired Defense Minister Gallant and IDF Chief of Staff Halevi specifically to advance ultra-Orthodox draft exemptions. "When the Defense Minister and Chief of Staff are against you, you can't move forward," Netanyahu told a rabbi in March.

Reserve Staff Sergeant Alon Farkas, 27, was killed in fighting in Gaza's Shejaiya neighborhood, continuing the war's toll. The US vetoed a UN Security Council ceasefire resolution while Iran's Supreme Leader rejected American nuclear proposals. Netanyahu's evening meeting with Edelstein yielded claims of "bridging gaps," though ultra-Orthodox parties remained committed to government dissolution.

Netanyahu announced "significant progress" in hostage negotiations while cautioning it remained "too early to raise hopes." However, reports emerged that Trump explicitly told Netanyahu to end the Gaza war and removed military action against Iran from consideration, despite Netanyahu's arguments about Iran stalling tactics.

Britain led five countries in imposing sanctions on ministers Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, prompting US criticism of the move. A 14-year-old boy died after being accidentally shot by a friend in Rishon LeZion, while climate activist Greta Thunberg was deported after her flotilla attempt.

The Day Ultra-Orthodox Backed Down From Government Collapse

⌨
Morning coverage dominated with IDF investigations into October 7th battles at Moshav Yakhini, revealing security teams lacked proper weapons while civilians fought eight terrorists for hours. The military's failures contrasted with heroic resistance that prevented larger casualties.

Netanyahu announced he was "sick" and canceled his court testimony while making last-minute efforts to prevent government collapse. Knesset Speaker Edelstein refused to negotiate with Haredi parties until they withdrew dissolution threats.

By evening, ultra-Orthodox parties appeared to fold under pressure. Senior rabbinical figures instructed their representatives to prepare for delaying the dissolution vote by a week, with sources suggesting the immediate crisis had passed.

The day concluded with the IDF recovering bodies of hostage Yair Yaakov and another victim from Khan Younis after 614 days, while Argentina's president promised to move his embassy to Jerusalem in 2026.

Coalition Survives As Iran Strike Looms

⌨
Netanyahu's coalition survived dissolution by 61-53 votes after ultra-Orthodox parties withdrew their threats following Speaker Edelstein's announcement of draft legislation "understandings." The reprieve came at a cost - Housing Minister Goldknopf resigned on orders from the Ger Rebbe, claiming coalition agreements weren't upheld.

Simultaneously, reports emerged that Israel completed preparations for striking Iran within days without American assistance. The International Atomic Energy Agency declared Iran in violation of nuclear commitments for the first time in 20 years. Iran responded by launching military exercises targeting "enemy movements" and threatening retaliation with "hundreds of missiles."

Trump's intervention complicated strike plans, stating he was "close to an agreement" with Iran and didn't want Israel to interfere. American officials warned of mass casualties from Iranian retaliation while restricting US staff movement in Israel. Netanyahu appointed a temporary Shin Bet chief as the current head's term expired amid the crisis.
