Haredi party threatens to leave Netanyahu's coalition military service exemption law is not presented

A branch of the United Torah Judaism party threatened on Monday to leave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ruling coalition government unless it is presented with a draft of a bill exempting yeshiva students  from military service, multiple news sources reported.

Degel Hatorah is giving the government 24 hours to make a decision. Ultra-Orthodox party Shas is also  reportedly threatening to resign from the government within days.

A yeshiva is an Orthodox Jewish college.
