Avigdor Liberman has reversed his previous veto on including Haredi parties in a coalition government, signalling a major shift in Israeli political negotiations. The opposition bloc is reportedly in talks with United Torah Judaism (UTJ) regarding potential coalition arrangements.

The discussions reportedly centre on drafting a more lenient military conscription law, addressing one of the key points of contention between Secular and Haredi communities. Liberman’s change of position represents a significant development in breaking the current political deadlock.

This reversal opens new possibilities for coalition formation, with UTJ indicating it will not recommend incumbent Premier Benjamin Netanyahu, potentially isolating the sitting prime minister in negotiations.
