“Ultra-Orthodox Jews are also subject to conscription” – Israeli Supreme Court rules; army has the authority to search for Gaza’s administrative body

The Israeli Supreme Court has ruled that military service should be mandatory for ultra-Orthodox Jews.

In Israel, students at ultra-Orthodox Jewish seminaries are exempt from conscription, but according to Reuters, the Supreme Court ruled on the 25th that the exemption is illegal and that ultra-Orthodox students must also be conscripted.

The unanimous ruling noted that “in the midst of a brutal war, the burden of inequality is greater than ever.”

The ultra-Orthodox parties in Netanyahu’s coalition government are opposed to the ruling, and it has been pointed out that it could also deal a blow to Prime Minister Netanyahu’s administration.

Meanwhile, according to local media, National Security Adviser Hanegbi said on the 25th that he had given the Israeli military the authority to find an organization to manage the Palestinian-controlled area of ​​Gaza on behalf of the Islamic organization Hamas, and expressed his intention to implement a management plan in northern Gaza “soon.”
