The Haredi have made it pretty clear they will outlast and endure any gains by Lapid’s coalition, and simply undo the changes once Lapid loses his coalition to infighting and disillusionment, just like they did when Lapid’s father’s coalition collapsed.
On that point, I support the plan to force Haredi into the IDF/national service, and also to nudge the Haredim Yeshivas to teach actual educational courses to their boys,
