Coalition Readies Final-Week Bill Push Before Knesset Dissolves

Coalition leaders are preparing a final legislative push before the 25th Knesset dissolves ahead of Israel's October election, with final readings expected this week. The package includes a Basic Law recognizing Torah study as a foundational value of the Jewish people and the State of Israel, a temporary freeze on enforcement against yeshiva students who have not reported for service, a narrower attorney-general bill, media legislation, kosher-certification changes and a possible October 7 inquiry bill. The agenda keeps respect for Torah learning at the center while intensifying Israel's wartime debate over equal service obligations, coalition discipline and institutional oversight.
