Netanyahu: "Opposition hypocrisy regarding draft law"

The Prime Minister attacked opposition leaders for their willingness to hold talks with haredi parties, after previously opposing them.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched a sharp attack today (Tuesday) against the leaders of the "Change Bloc"—Yair Lapid, Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett, and Avigdor Liberman—regarding their willingness to hold coalition talks with haredi parties. In remarks reported by the Jerusalem Post and Arutz 7, Netanyahu accused the opposition leaders of hypocrisy, claiming that after years of campaigning against haredi draft exemptions, they have changed their stance purely for political gain.

According to the reports, Netanyahu emphasized that only the Likud and the right-wing bloc are committed to regulating the status of yeshiva students. JDN reported that Netanyahu described these maneuvers as "crying hypocrisy." Further details regarding the opposition's response to the attack have not yet been released.
