The IDF has issued 800 arrest warrants to bnei yeshivos who did not show up to the summons issued to them in the summer. Those who received warrants will not be arrested immediately but will be arrested if caught at Ben Gurion Airport trying to leave the country and will also be prevented from obtaining a driver’s license. Senior Chareidi political officials admitted to Kikar H’Shabbat on Monday evening that they have not managed to find a solution to the issuance of arrest warrants and the criminalization of bnei yeshivos. It should be noted that Charedim are being drafted on the orders of Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara and and the Supreme Court and not the current government. Earlier on Monday, it was reported that the UTJ party retracted its threats to withhold its support for the state budget until a draft law is passed [due to the low likelihood that it will be approved] and instead is insisting on continuing to provide daycare subsidies for the children of bnei yeshivos who are eligible for the draft, a move that Baharav-Miara has deemed illegal [based on her personal opinion.] Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu held a special meeting at his office in the Knesset on Monday evening in an attempt to find a solution for advancing the law that would allow continued subsidization of daycare for avreichim of draft age or a way to bypass Baharav-Miara’s decision. Channel 12 News reported on Monday that the IDF will soon issue draft orders to another 5,000 Chareidim. Out of the 3,000 draft orders previously sent to Chareidim in the summer, only 230 Chareidim obeyed the summons and showed up at draft centers. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
