Jerusalem deputy mayor seeks to strip draft dodgers of municipal benefits

Jerusalem’s deputy mayor Yossi Havilio has requested data on military draft evaders from the IDF, proposing to revoke their eligibility for subsidised afternoon care, scholarships, and discounts on cultural and sports events. Havilio argues that the burden of military service and taxes falls disproportionately on those who serve. The proposal aims to incentivise military recruitment among Jerusalem residents.
