Israeli public radio explained that the agreements were linked to other unnamed issues are thought to be related to political and military aspects, especially the Iranian nuclear issue and the Palestinian resistance. The leader\'s refusal to divulge details ended the debate conducted by the Israeli Knesset on the coalition. Netanyahu and Mofaz in the early hours Wednesday agreed to form a national unity government and cancel an early general election, now deferred to the end of next year. The agreement regulates Kadima into a unity government and gives the government a safety net with regards to its future decisions. Kadima demanded the three-page agreement pass an alternative law to the “Tal\" law which allows ultra-Orthodox Jews to defer their military service.. It was also agreed to introduce a draft law to change the laws until the end of the current year and to conduct the next general election under a new rule in October 2013. According to the deal, Mofaz will take over the position of first deputy prime minister and will be appointed as a minister in the government and  a member of the cabinet for political and security affairs.
