Boaz Bismuth Calls Emergency Meeting to Freeze Criminal Proceedings Against Torah Students
Boaz Bismuth announced plans to convene an emergency committee meeting this week to approve a temporary order halting criminal proceedings against Torah students. This decisive move follows formal requests from Defense Minister Israel Katz and Government Secretary Yossi Fox. The initiative is grounded in the professional assessments of officials responsible for integrating ultra-Orthodox Jews into the Israel Defense Forces and yeshiva leaders. They warn that the current policy of arrests is counterproductive, pushing young ultra-Orthodox individuals away from military service pathways and deepening social divisions within Israel.
