Coalition crisis: UTJ moves to block Karhi's media reform bill
UTJ MKs announced opposition to Shlomo Karhi's communications reform, threatening coalition majority and putting the broadcasting overhaul at risk
Assessment
The coalition's internal fault line is now exposed over media policy. UTJ's opposition threatens the votes needed to pass Karhi's broadcasting overhaul, which could stall or collapse the reform entirely. The immediate question is whether coalition leaders can negotiate a compromise or whether this defection triggers broader instability.
