A judge from the Likud party's internal court has resigned from the party in protest against a new law that freezes the detention of draft dodgers. The resignation highlights internal dissent within Likud regarding the legislation, which affects the enforcement of military conscription laws, particularly concerning the ultra-Orthodox community. The judge described the vote on the law as "shameful," signaling deep disagreement with the party's direction on this issue. This development underscores tensions within Likud as it navigates sensitive political and security matters related to military service exemptions and enforcement.
