Netanyahu downplays coalition infighting over haredi draft

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday downplayed infighting within his coalition over the contents of draft legislation to increase haredi enlistment in national service.
Speaking at a Likud Beytenu faction meeting, Netanyahu said, "After 65 years, we stand before a historic change that will go a long way toward equalizing the burden. Until the new law is applied, we will see many more headlines and crises, both imagined and real."
Netanyahu added: "I am sure we can find solutions to the isolated clauses which remain unresolved. There will be a law."
