Netanyahu's office says Drori-backed bill to halt draft-dodger arrests has enough support
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said there is a guaranteed majority to pass a bill initiated and promoted by Shas chairman Aryeh Deri to stop the arrest of yeshiva students who avoid military service. The proposal is aimed at ending the detention of draft evaders, a step that has become a major issue for ultra-Orthodox parties.
Ultra-Orthodox factions said that, in the absence of any other legislation, this measure is, in their words, "the most necessary thing for the world of Torah" in order to stop what they called the "arrest madness." The statement indicates strong backing from the religious parties behind the effort.
No vote date was given, and the article does not describe the bill's full legal text or the specific parliamentary path it will take. The key development is that Netanyahu's office says the coalition has the numbers needed to advance it.
