Israeli opposition threatens to topple Netanyahu's government

Israel's opposition party Yesh Atid, led by former prime minister Yair Lapid, is moving to vote to topple the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next week.

On Wednesday, a member of Israel's right-wing coalition threatened to quit the cabinet and support that vote unless an exemption was passed by lawmakers for ultra-Orthodox men not to enlist in the military. 

United Torah Judaism, which is one of two ultra-Orthodox parties in the coalition, said it would withdraw from the government unless there were concessions on the matter of men from religious seminaries.
