Trump to Meet Satmar Rebbes Over IDF Draft Issue
U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet this evening, around 7:30 PM, with the Rebbes of the Satmar Hasidic dynasty and other rabbis. During the meeting, they intend to raise the issue of conscription into the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) among other topics.
The meeting is set to take place at Trump's residence in Florida. The Satmar Hasidim, a prominent ultra-Orthodox group, have historically opposed military service for their members, citing religious objections. This meeting highlights the ongoing tension between the Israeli government's efforts to integrate the ultra-Orthodox community into national service and the community's traditional stance.
