Exemptions for ultra-Orthodox men from compulsory military service in Israel expired on Sunday at midnight. The government of right-wing conservative Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was unable to pass a law that would cement the relief measures.

From Monday onwards, according to an interim order from the Supreme Court, state subsidies will be canceled. According to a decision by Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, the military is also obliged to immediately draft in religious students who have so far been largely exempt.
