Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition began the week with a paper-thin 67–53 majority. By Monday night that margin was gone. United Torah Judaism (UTJ) pulled its six seats after Likud failed to deliver a permanent exemption for full-time yeshiva students, leaving the bloc at 61—the lowest workable figure in a 120-member Knesset. UTJ’s walkout triggered a 48-hour cooling-off period, but its lawmakers have already resigned key posts, including Finance Committee chair Moshe Gafni. If they do not reverse course before the cooling window closes, every committee will need a new quorum, and Likud will lose the ability to move legislation without help from the opposition.
