Israel's ultra-Orthodox parties, which have traditionally played the role of political kingmaker in the Jewish state, have been left out of a new government line-up for the first time in three decades. Supporters of the two parties -- Shas and United Torah Judaism -- have described their exclusion as a "boycott" of the country's vast and growing ultra-Orthodox community. Neither Shas, the Sephardi party, nor the Ashkenazi United Torah Judaism, will feature in the coalition government which is due to be unveiled later on Thursday by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
