Haredi parties reach coalition agreement to make changes in contentious Torah study bill
The agreement is expected to allow the bill to advance in the Knesset's House Committee ahead of its final second and third readings after previous coaltion objections to wording
Assessment
Haredi parties have secured a coalition agreement to amend a Torah study bill that had stalled due to earlier objections. The revised wording now allows the bill to move through the House Committee toward final readings. Passage would represent a major legislative win for the Haredi bloc, but the specific changes made and whether they satisfy centrist coalition partners remain unclear. The next key moment is the bill's advancement out of committee.
