Israel National News: Has an agreement been reached on the promotion of the Draft Law? A report in the Hamodia newspaper, which is affiliated with the Agudat Yisrael faction of the United Torah Judaism (UTJ) party, said that an agreement was reached between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and UTJ chairman Yitzhak Goldknopf on the formulation and promotion of the Draft Law in the coming days.

According to the report, the planned law "will recognize the importance of Torah study and of Torah students and will thwart the harm being done to yeshiva students." The move, it was reported, follows instructions from the leadership of the haredi public.

Goldknopf clarified to Netanyahu that the law must pass three readings in the Knesset before the holiday of Rosh Hashanah, the report said.
