An Ultra-Orthodox party is weaponizing parliamentary procedure, halting Knesset votes to pressure for military draft exemptions. The immediate focus is a bill preventing arrests of haredi draft evaders, set for committee debate. The tactic underscores an escalating standoff over military service obligations, with the coalition's stability potentially at risk.
