On Sunday morning, a nine-justice panel at the High Court of Justice will hear petitions demanding immediate conscription of Charedi men to the IDF.
On Thursday, Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara came out in support of the petitions, writing in the state’s response that the government was acting “without authority,” “violating express rules of the court,” and “undermining the rule of law” in it’s attempts to deal with the new legal situation regarding Charedim and the draft.
The government has tried to get private representation in the High Court, instead of that of the attorney general, as she opposes the governments position.
In late March, the court issued an interim order barring the government from providing funds to Charedi yeshivas for students eligible for IDF enlistment, since the legal framework for deferring their IDF service had expired.
