DRAFT DATES FOR ULTRA-orthodox

1–2 minutes

To read

The Israeli army announced it was moving up draft dates for pre-army preparatory students amid the Israel-Hamas war – but has not moved up the draft for any ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students

The bill is not without controversy; many members of the coalition, including the National Unity party, have expressed their discontent with the bill, which would raise the burden on those who currently serve in the army and make no changes to the Ultra-Orthodox public’s exemptions from mandatory service. Despite this, they are expected to fast-track the legislation, bringing it to a vote in the coming weeks.
