Israeli Defense Minister Approves Plan to Draft 3,000 Ultra-Orthodox Jews Amid Netanyahu Criticism
Jul 9, 2024, 12:20 PM
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has approved a plan to begin drafting ultra-Orthodox Jews into the military starting next month. This decision follows a briefing where Gallant emphasized the need for increased IDF manpower. The move has sparked significant controversy within the Israeli government, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticizing Gallant for his handling of the conscription law. The plan includes issuing 3,000 draft orders to ultra-Orthodox young men, a step mandated by a recent Supreme Court ruling. Gallant's decision is seen as a response to the military's manpower shortages, but it has also highlighted political tensions, particularly regarding the Haredi draft exemption and a recent hostage deal. Gallant's approval of the IDF's recommendation underscores the ongoing debate over the role of ultra-Orthodox Jews in national service and the broader implications for Israel's coalition government.
