Yeshivah or the army? The Haredi draft after Oct. 7 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For decades, Israel’s Haredi draft debate unfolded mainly in courtrooms and coalition negotiations. After Oct. 7, the argument moved into homes, workplaces and army bases. A State Comptroller report found that between October 2023 and July 2024, reservists served an average of 110 days, compared with annual averages of 10 to 13 days from 2020 through 2023. Families repeatedly reorganized themselves around absent parents, students left university, and workers returned to uniform for a fourth or f
The collapse of Israel’s Haredi draft compromises (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every few years, Israel’s Haredi draft dispute follows the same script. A court sets a legal deadline. The government appoints a committee or introduces a bill. Coalition negotiations produce targets, transition periods and new service tracks. The resulting compromise either collapses before passage, produces little change or returns to the Supreme Court. Then the process begins again. This cycle has persisted not because Israel lacked potential formulas. Lawmakers have considered voluntary enli
The Haredi draft: How a limited deferment turned into a national dispute (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Few disputes have proved as durable—or as politically disruptive—in Israel as the deferment of military service for Haredi yeshivah students.

The 25th Knesset dissolved itself two weeks ago, formally opening a campaign that will end with national elections on Oct. 27. The outgoing parliament became the first since 1988 to complete a full term, a point coalition whip Ofir Katz underscored as lawmakers adjourned: “Ultimately, despite everything that was said, this Knesset is completing its full term.” The election date is fixed; the political map is not. Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar and Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud are fighting for first place
How Haredi parties mastered Israeli politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 25th Knesset dissolved on July 17, and while polls differ sharply over the balance between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc and its opponents, most surveys leave neither side with much room to spare. That once again places Israel’s smaller parties—particularly the Haredi parties—at the center of the coalition arithmetic that will determine who governs after the election set for Oct. 27. Therein lies one of the enduring paradoxes of Israeli politics. Shas and United Torah Juda
