Israel’s Supreme Court issued a significant ruling on Tuesday, mandating the government to enlist ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) Israeli Jews into the military. This decision comes as a setback for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his ruling coalition, which heavily relies on Haredi parties for governance.
The Supreme Court's directive marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing debate over military conscription in Israel. The issue of Haredi exemption from military service has long been a contentious topic, with critics arguing that it creates an unequal burden on other Israeli citizens who are required to serve.
