Haredi parties' ultimatum on Sa'ar-Levin judicial reform deal

The haredi political parties announced that they will only support the full judicial reform deal reached by the Foreign and Justice Ministers if the Draft Law enshrining haredi exemptions from military service is passed

Israel National News: The haredi political parties issued an ultimatum to pass the compromise judicial reform deal reached last week by Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar and Justice Minister Yariv Levin.

Kan Reshet Bet reported that the haredi parties have agreed to pass the first part of the deal, the part dealing with the changes to the Judicial Selection Committee that removes the Supreme Court's veto power over new members of the court.

National Unity Party chairman Benny Gantz criticized the outline in a video address posted yesterday (Saturday) but said it should still be considered for the sake of national unity.
