Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition government has lost its parliamentary majority after the ultra-Orthodox Shas party announced its exit. The decision follows long-standing tensions over mandatory military service, which the ultra-Orthodox community opposes. Earlier this week, another religious party also resigned from the coalition. While Shas has left the government, it has stated it won’t actively seek to topple it. Still, Netanyahu now faces increased challenges in passing legislation and governing effectively without a clear majority in parliament.
