The Court’s Ruling on Military Service in Israel
A recent court ruling in Israel has clarified the government’s policy on compulsory military service for ultra-Orthodox citizens. The court determined that without a specific law differentiating Jewish seminary students from other draftees, all citizens must abide by Israel’s military service system.
This decision is significant as it reaffirms the principle of equality under the law, ensuring that all citizens, regardless of their religious beliefs, are subject to the same obligations when it comes to national defense.
While this ruling may face backlash from certain ultra-Orthodox communities, it represents a step towards a more inclusive and fair military service policy in Israel.
