The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) will recruit 3,000 ultra-Orthodox soldiers in 2025, with plans to lift any recruitment limits starting in July 2026. This information was disclosed in a document submitted to the High Court of Justice by the Israeli government. The court has instructed the state to provide detailed plans by January 30 on how it will address ultra-Orthodox individuals who do not comply with the enlistment requirements. The announcement marks a significant shift in the IDF's approach to integrating ultra-Orthodox citizens into military service, which has been a contentious issue in Israeli society.
