Sharren Haskel resigns as Israel's deputy FM over bill halting arrests of haredi draft dodgers
Haskel, a member of the New Hope party, heavily opposed the bills aiming to stop the arrest of draft dodgers and to allow haredim to not be drafted into the IDF
Assessment
A senior Israeli diplomat has stepped down over legislation that would halt arrests of ultra-Orthodox men who avoid military conscription. The resignation signals deepening internal coalition friction on an issue that has long divided Israeli society. The coming days will show whether this departure triggers broader political fallout or forces a renegotiation of the coalition's stance on military service exemptions.
