Israel's attorney general opposes a bill exempting some haredi yeshiva students from IDF enlistment.

Israel's attorney general has advised against a bill aimed at exempting some haredi yeshiva students from IDF enlistment sanctions. Proposed by haredi parties, the bill seeks to alter criteria for state-funded daycare subsidies, potentially encouraging draft evasion. Critics, including the attorney general, argue it undermines military service obligations. The proposal’s fate lies with the Ministerial Committee on Legislation amid internal opposition within Netanyahu's Likud party.
