Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu postponed his flight to Washington on Sunday, pushing the scheduled departure back by several hours to around 17:00 local time, according to multiple Israeli media outlets. The delay comes as Haredi coalition parties press for progress on legislation that would exempt most ultra-Orthodox men from mandatory military service, warning they could bring down the government if their demands are not met. Lawmakers working on the measure were said to be briefing Haredi representatives on the latest draft as the prime minister weighed the timing of his trip. Netanyahu’s office denied that the conscription dispute was the direct cause of the rescheduling, saying the prime minister needed to attend an additional security consultation before leaving. He is still expected to travel later today for talks in Washington, where ministers have not imposed red-line constraints on potential Gaza negotiations, according to Channel 13.
