High Court extends order against law blocking arrests of Haredi students
The justices said they would issue a final ruling soon after hearing arguments against the legislation, which temporarily blocks arrests of yeshivah students who evade military service
Assessment
Israel's High Court is signaling urgency on the military draft exemption for Haredi yeshivah students by extending a temporary order against a law that blocks their arrest. The justices plan a final ruling soon, which could force the government to resolve a long-simmering tension between universal conscription and religious study. The outcome will test the coalition's stability and the state's ability to enforce equal service obligations.
