The conscription law inflames controversy within Israel and the government decides to postpone its discussion. Demonstrators brought some animals near Netanyahu's office in occupied Jerusalem to demand the enactment of a law requiring Haredi Jews to serve in the army.
According to Israeli military officials, the army needs to recruit more soldiers in light of the increasing threats. The leaders of the Israeli army explained to Defense Minister Yoav Galant the army's need for fighters of no less than 20,000 soldiers.
