Wish him only health: The chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, MK Yuli Edelstein, "caught a significant cold" - and therefore, the conscription law will not be presented this week either.

This was communicated today (Wednesday) to the Haredi Knesset members, who have been waiting for the text of the law for a month.

This week, Shas and United Torah Judaism intensified their boycott of votes in the plenum, including on government legislation, after another meeting between Edelstein and Haredi representative Ariel Atias ended without results.

According to the Haredi MKs, Edelstein also reneged on the agreements they reached the night before the start of Operation "Am Kalavi" against Iran - when the bill to dissolve the Knesset was rejected in the plenum.
