According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Former Israeli Defense Minister and head of the right-wing Yisrael Beiteinu party, Avigdor Liberman, has announced his willingness to offer concessions regarding the military conscription of Haredi Jews as part of an initiative to establish a cabinet that excludes both Benjamin Netanyahu and Arab parties. This development was reported by the Sama News Agency, citing Hebrew media outlets.

Liberman indicated his readiness to provide concessions concerning the Haredi conscription issue, with the explicit goal of forming a government that is independent of Netanyahu and Arab political factions. He further clarified that he would not assume any mediating role or negotiating authority on behalf of the entire coalition.
