Israel's Supreme Court orders ultra-Orthodox Jewish men to enlist, potentially destabilizing Netanyahu's coalition.

Israel's Supreme Court has ruled that ultra-Orthodox Jewish men must be drafted into military service, a decision that could threaten Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's governing coalition. The ruling effectively ends a long-standing system that granted broad exemptions to ultra-Orthodox men, while maintaining mandatory enlistment for the country's secular Jewish majority. This decision has the potential to destabilize Netanyahu's coalition government amid ongoing conflict in Gaza.
