In response to the growing challenges and decrees facing the chareidi public, the heads of the chareidi parties have agreed on a division of labor in their dealings with the Prime Minister.
Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri will focus on resolving the issue of daycare centers. UTJ Minister Yitzchok Goldknopf has taken responsibility for the draft law, while Degel HaTorah Chairman Moshe Gafni will address budgetary issues related to chareidi education.
“The best solution for the daycare subsidy issue is to pass the draft law and regulate the status of those required for military service by law, and this must be done quickly,” Prime Minister Netanyahu said.
If that fails, the government plans to approve a resolution that would bypass Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, who aims to cut daycare subsidies for families of yungeleit.
The resolution would extend the current daycare subsidy model until the end of the school year and proposes a plan to allow daycare subsidies for working women, even if their husbands are learning in kollel.
Meanwhile, the Attorney General has argued that the IDF should recruit chareidim based on criteria relevant to the army’s needs, such as drivers or those with language skills, rather than using “discriminatory” criteria like whether they are employed or own a mobile phone.
