This delay \u201cwas coordinated with Netanyahu,\u201d the newspaper revealed, noting that Edelstein\u2019s supporters within Likud were surprised to discover this fact only recently. The fate of the conscription law now depends on whether Netanyahu is considering early elections soon or not.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1162\" data-end=\"1368\">According to coalition sources cited by the paper, Netanyahu waited to see what outcome his U.S. visit would yield before deciding whether it is suitable to hold elections in three months or to wait longer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14809\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14809\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14809 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/7896666.jpg\" alt=\"Ultra-Orthodox Parties Threaten to Collapse Government if Military Conscription Law Isn\u2019t Passed Before Knesset Recess\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/7896666.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/7896666-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/7896666-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14809\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu returns from Washington to growing domestic pressure over the military draft law, with ultra-Orthodox parties threatening to dissolve the Knesset.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"1370\" data-end=\"1872\">If he decides to hold early elections, the timing would be far from ideal, especially since they would coincide with the second anniversary of the outbreak of the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023. Broad sectors in Israel hold Netanyahu\u2019s government responsible for the reasons that led to the war\u2019s outbreak and the failure to prevent the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, during which fighters from the Al-Qassam Brigades breached the border and reached settlements in the Gaza envelope area.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1874\" data-end=\"2351\">Despite this, the law to dissolve the Knesset will not pass in the current session. If the conscription law does not pass within the next two weeks, the ultra-Orthodox parties threaten to unleash chaos within the coalition. Their punitive measures would go beyond boycotting the vote in the plenary to acts of rebellion and non-compliance with the coalition in Knesset committees, which would paralyze the coalition even during the recess ending in the second third of October.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2353\" data-end=\"2916\">The ultra-Orthodox parties claim that if the law is not passed within the next two weeks, they will dissolve the Knesset. However, sources within these parties told the newspaper that if the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/06\/11\/netanyahu-fights-to-save-coalition-amid-ultra-orthodox-draft-crisis\/\">draft<\/a> law is brought to the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee table\u2014even if that happens on the eve of the dissolution of the Knesset in the upcoming session\u2014they would take the draft and push it forward so that the conscription law becomes the first law voted on by the plenary in final readings. \u201cBut that will depend on the stance of the other coalition partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2918\" data-end=\"3209\">If the conscription law does not pass, the newspaper suggests Netanyahu will likely avoid early elections in the near two weeks. Coalition circles expect the dissolution of the Knesset to take place between October and December, with elections organized between February and March next year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20200\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20200\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20200 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/9900-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"If the conscription law does not pass, the newspaper suggests Netanyahu will likely avoid early elections in the near two weeks.
