flag Israel's government proposes draft reforms for ultra-Orthodox men to secure coalition support.

flag MK Boaz Bismuth has submitted a draft outline to the Knesset proposing to enlist 50% of ultra-Orthodox Jewish men within five years, raise the exemption age to 26, and delay cuts to yeshiva funding by one year. flag The plan, aimed at bringing Shas back into the government coalition, includes gradual personal sanctions for draft evaders if targets aren’t met. flag The proposal follows months of debate over military conscription for haredi Jews and comes as the Knesset prepares for its winter session.
