The ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) parties, Shas and United Torah Judaism (UTJ), have threatened to leave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition if legislation exempting their community from military service is not passed. The Knesset's summer recess begins on July 31, 2025. This market resolves to 'Yes' if either Shas or UTJ officially withdraws from the coalition before this date. Official announcements from the parties or the Prime Minister's Office will serve as resolution sources. (ft.com)

With both factions of UTJ gone, Aryeh Deri’s Shas party will be the sole ultra-Orthodox faction in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.
I intend to resolve YES after ~24 hours.
