Meet the man who has Netanyahu's ear on security issues
Lieberman, a longtime opponent of military draft exemptions for eligible religious men, threatened to bolt the coalition over the legislation.
Read the full story here. Netanyahu told reporters after meeting Trump last week that the issue had never come up between them.
A new survey of Israeli public opinion suggests that the right-wing Likud party has maintained its popularity despite an ongoing corruption probe into its leader, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The attorney general is now weighing whether to follow a police recommendation to indict Netanyahu for bribery in two of the four cases, with investigations continuing into the others. "As the Prime Minister is seeking to solve this crisis, Bennett is busy campaigning for himself", the Likud said in a statement.
On Sunday morning, Netanyahu said that he will continue to try to prevent the dissolution of his government but stressed that having a narrow majority coalition is "not an option".
Shas leader Rabbi Aryeh Deri said given the opposition within the coalition to the draft bill, Netanyahu's conditions prove that he wants elections and that negotiations are a "waste of time". "All the rest is a fake crisis", he wrote on Twitter.

Towns, Timberwolves hold off Warriors
The Timberwolves rank well in free throw percentage (#2), turnovers per game (#2) and field goal percentage (#3). Golden State lost their last game to the Portland Trail Blazers , 125 - 108; Trail Blazers win ninth straight.
The coalition crisis, which first began last month, deteriorated last week during Netanyahu's trip overseas, as haredi lawmakers faced-off against Liberman, who has refused to support a draft bill pushed by UTJ and Shas, calling haredi demands "extortion" by "extremist elements" he said had "taken Israel captive".
The ultra-Orthodox parties are refusing to approve the state budget unless a draft bill is amended or scrapped, while Defence Minister Avidgor Lieberman is determined to pass the law.
The bill is bitterly opposed by Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opened an exhibition on Jerusalem Thursday to reinforce Israel's claim to the historic city as the Jewish people's "eternal capital" - and rebuke over 125 countries that support Palestinian claims to east Jerusalem as the capital of their future state. "For that to happen, all the [coalition] parties need to reach an agreement and decide that they are continuing together", he told the ministers.
For the last several months, Netanyahu has been the target of multiple corruption probes by the authorities.
