Channel 12 journalist Amit Segal reported there is no realistic way to bridge the gap between the Chareidi MKs and the legal advisor to the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Miri Frenkel Shor—and that, as a result, the draft law is unlikely to pass and the deadlock will lead to early elections.

Kikar H’Shabbat reported that senior Chareidi figures involved in drafting the Chareidi draft law are furious at Frenkel Shor’s conduct, saying she is deliberately thwarting the legislation of the law.

“She has become Yuli Edelstein 2,” the Chareidi sources said. “She acts like Edelstein and does everything to ensure the draft law doesn’t pass.”

It should be noted that this isn’t the first time that Chareidi officials have complained about Frenkel-Shor, who reportedly has been actively raising difficulties to the law for months and refuses to compromise with the Chareidi MKs on key issues.

Regarding early elections, Segal said, “We are left with three possible election dates—June, September, or October.”
