Supreme Court Unanimously Cancels Law Freezing Arrest of Ultra-Orthodox Draft Evaders

Breaking

Israel’s Supreme Court has unanimously struck down the controversial law that prevented the arrest of ultra-Orthodox individuals evading military service. All nine justices voted to invalidate the amendment, citing fundamental flaws in the legislative process.

The ruling removes a key protection that had shielded draft evaders from detention, reigniting tensions over military conscription of the ultra-Orthodox community. The decision comes amid ongoing disputes between the government and the judiciary over religious exemptions from military service.

This unanimous decision represents a significant legal victory for those challenging the law’s constitutionality and marks another flashpoint in the debate over military service obligations across Israeli society.
