Israeli journalist Amit Segal revealed March 27 that a representative of the ultra-Orthodox community has been negotiating with senior members of the governing coalition for a political cease-fire between the government and the ultra-Orthodox parties in the Opposition.
"In recent months, the in-law of the Grand Rabbi of Gur — Yitzhak Shapira — held a series of meetings, both with [Foreign Minister Yair] Lapid and with [Prime Minister Naftali] Bennett's chief of staff, on a proposal for a truce: a six-month hiatus against anti-ultra-Orthodox legislation, especially concerning the kosher-telephone reform, which is so important for the Grand Rabbi of Gur. In exchange, the ultra-Orthodox will offer the coalition a political safety net," tweeted Segal.
