Israel's judicial advisor: Haredi recruitment must begin. Israel's right-wing government had sought to enact a law exempting the Haredim from military service.
Since 2017, successive governments have failed to reach a consensus law regarding the recruitment of Haringim. Last Sunday, War Council member Benny Gantz threatened to withdraw if the Knesset approved a draft law maintaining the exemption of religious people from military conscription. In Washington, Defense Minister Yoav Galant announced that he would not support the draft law in its current form.
