Another key ally quits Netanyahu's governing coalition in a major blow to Israel's leader
Israeli government members from the ultra-Orthodox Jewish party Shas announced on Wednesday their resignation, protesting the ruling coalition's failure to pass a law to exempt their community from military service. However, the party stopped short of withdrawing its support for the coalition in parliament, and said it would not back a no-confidence vote to bring down Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government. FRANCE 24's Noga Tarnopolsky reports from Jerusalem.
