Coalition Crisis Deepens as Netanyahu Faces Ultra-Orthodox Revolt

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is grappling with a fresh political crisis after the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism (UTJ) party announced its departure from the ruling coalition over a contentious military conscription bill.

The dispute centers on long-standing exemptions from mandatory military service for ultra-Orthodox seminary students—a privilege increasingly criticized by secular Israelis, especially amid the ongoing war in Gaza. UTJ’s resignation, set to take effect within 48 hours, leaves Netanyahu with a razor-thin one-seat majority in the Knesset. The larger Shas party, also ultra-Orthodox, may follow suit, potentially stripping the government of its parliamentary control.

This political shakeup comes at a critical juncture, as ceasefire negotiations with Hamas continue in Qatar. Netanyahu is under pressure from far-right coalition partners who oppose any truce, while public fatigue over the 21-month conflict grows.

Despite the turmoil, Netanyahu may still have time to broker a compromise. Parliament’s upcoming summer recess offers a temporary reprieve, giving the prime minister several months to stabilize his coalition before any formal collapse.
