Netanyahu left in precarious position as two ultra-Orthodox parties withdraw from his coalition

A second ultra-Orthodox group has withdrawn from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ruling coalition this week, leaving him holding on to power with the minimum number of seats required, multiple news outlets reported on Tuesday. The Agudat Yisrael faction withdrew on Tuesday, leaving Netanyahu's coalition with 61 seats in the Knesset out of a total of 120 seats, while the Degel HaTorah faction withdrew on Monday. Both groups withdrew in protest against a bill not being drafted to exempt ultra-Orthodox Jews from military service. The Shas party - also an ultra-Orthodox party - is threatening to withdraw on Thursday. If this happens, it would lead to the collapse of the Netanyahu government and trigger elections.

Israel says it will cut off electricity and water to Unrwa's offices

In the latest attack on the agency, Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen announced the government was planning to cut off electricity and water to the aid group's offices in a post on X on Tuesday. In October 2024, Israel banned Unrwa from operating in Israel. It followed this up by forcing six Unrwa-run schools to close in East Jerusalem.
