Israel prolongs reserve call-up details
The Israeli Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee has confirmed the government's decision to extend the state of emergency military conscription until September 30, 2026. This allows for the call-up of up to 240,000 reserve soldiers to support ongoing military operations in Gaza and other fronts, including Lebanon, Iran, Syria, and Yemen. This comes amid the continuation of the comprehensive war that Israel has been waging since October 2023, which has required the mobilization of large numbers of reserve troops and has incurred costs of approximately $32.7 billion since the start of the conflicts, accounting for more than a third of the total war expenses. The Israeli army is facing a human and economic crisis due to a shortage of soldiers and the impact this has on its readiness, with expectations that the cost of reservist service will reach 30 billion shekels in 2026.
