Israeli society fractured due to military exemption on Haredi Jews: Military analyst

The Israeli government is considering extending an emergency law, that delays the age military reservists can retire from the service.
That’s as a committee is discussing making conscription mandatory for ultra-Orthodox religious students.

Exemptions to being conscripted in Israel, like those given the Haredi ultra-Orthodox Jews, are putting “a lot of pressure on Israeli society”, military analyst Elijah Magnier says.

Magnier added that 42 percent of those enrolled in the army, both professionals and reservists, “don’t want to join the army again; they want to leave” due to the army’s performance and the confrontation with “a strong non-state actor determined not to lose”.
