Haredim Protest in Jerusalem Netanyahu: Draft Opponents Face Jail
The article describes widespread protests by the Haredi community in Jerusalem against the mandatory conscription law, as many of them refuse military service on the grounds of dedicating themselves to studying the Torah. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that those who do not study the Torah and do not enlist in the army will face imprisonment. He also stated that previous attempts to increase conscription have failed, and promised that new laws would be introduced after the elections to ensure the conscription of those who refuse service or to imprison them. The demonstrations are intensifying and sometimes escalate into acts of violence, with protests and arrests against those who refuse to comply with the conscription law. There are concerns about the threat to religious identity amid the secular community's opposition and security tensions in Israel.
