Newsrael: If anyone can make it happen, it's Bibi!
The Haredi sector makes up about 12% of the Israeli population, and within one generation they are expected to make up as much as 25% of all Israelis. Provided they get what they've asked for, within several years a large portion of the Israeli population will not be drafted into the IDF. That same chunk of the population will then enter the yeshiva studies, and demand a substantial part of state funding to be invested in them - while still failing to obtain the necessary skills to join the workforce.
