The Attorney General informed the Supreme Court that 110,000 individuals are currently evading mandatory service in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). She stated that the state is not enforcing conscription laws adequately, urging the court to consider issuing directives that would lead to the revocation of additional economic benefits for draft dodgers.
The Attorney General's statement to the High Court of Justice highlights a significant challenge in military conscription, with a large number of individuals failing to enlist. The lack of robust enforcement by the state has prompted this call for judicial intervention. The proposed measure aims to create a stronger deterrent by impacting the financial standing of those who avoid their service obligations.
