According to senior members of the Change bloc, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman is engaged in separate negotiations with Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) parties, while also reportedly developing a plan to reach the Prime Minister’s office.

The 13 Haredi mandates could prove decisive in determining the composition of the next government. Multiple negotiation tracks are currently active, with Liberman and Eisenkot running parallel diplomatic channels.

Coalition sources report that Benet is refusing to compromise on the military service law for Haredi citizens. Meanwhile, the Likud is concerned about the loss of its historic alliance with the Haredi bloc and is attempting to derail the negotiations. Rabbinical leaders have not yet received a concrete proposal for decision-making.
