The coalition in Israel is preparing for an intense two weeks of legislative action to pass the budget, approve controversial changes to the judicial appointments system, and reinstate exemptions from military service for ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students. The budget must be passed by March 31 to avoid new elections. The Justice Minister is eager to approve the judicial appointments bill, despite opposition, and the ultra-Orthodox party threatens to vote against the budget if the military exemptions law is not passed. The government is also seeking to remove the Attorney General, but the process is expected to take several weeks.
