Ultra-Orthodox protest military enlistment order, clashes in Jerusalem
Summary: Thousands of Jewish ultra-Orthodox men clashed with Israeli police in Jerusalem protesting a Supreme Court order to enlist for military service.

The parties are crucial to Netanyahu's coalition and may trigger elections if they withdraw.
