Israel’s Supreme Court on Sunday issued a conditional order in response to petitions filed by left-wing organizations regarding the conscription of bnei yeshivos to the IDF. The judges demanded that the State explain its failure to increase efforts to draft bnei yeshivos “in the scope appropriate to the needs of the IDF as presented from time to time by the professional elements in the army.” The judges also demanded that the government explain why no effective enforcement measures are being implemented against bnei yeshivos who have already received draft orders and failed to heed them. The government must submit an affidavit of response to the court by June 24, 2025. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
