Degel HaTorah Party Exits Netanyahu Cabinet

The Degel HaTorah party, which‍ holds four seats in the‌ Israeli ‌Knesset, has‌ announced‍ its departure from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet.

According to​ the English section of webangah ​News Agency, citing mehr News Agency via Al-Nashra, Israeli media reported that Degel HaTorah-a party representing Ashkenazi Haredim with four members ‌in ⁤the Knesset-has declared its exit from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet.

Yisrael Hayom reported that following a crisis over the ‌failure to pass a law exempting Haredim from military service, Degel HaTorah left the government coalition.

The outlet added that with ⁤Degel HaTorah’s exit, the​ ruling bloc’s majority shrinks to 63 seats ‍in the⁢ 120-member⁤ Knesset.

It also noted that if Agudat Yisrael decides to leave the cabinet as well,the coalition would hold only 60 seats. ⁣This⁣ would mean ​Netanyahu no longer has a guaranteed majority in parliament.
