A-G asks High Court to strike down 'discriminatory' haredi draft enforcement freeze
The law passed the Knesset on July 14. Justice Ofer Grosskopf froze it the following day and ordered the state and Knesset to explain why it should not be struck down
Assessment
Israel's Attorney General is asking the High Court to invalidate a law that halts enforcement of military draft for haredi men, arguing it is discriminatory. The law was frozen by a justice the day after it passed, and now the state must defend its legality. The court's ruling could reshape the fraught relationship between military service and ultra-Orthodox exemption.
