A Knesset panel approved advancement of a bill that would temporarily freeze arrests of haredi draft evaders. The legislation must still pass two final plenum readings before it can take effect. The panel's action follows last week's advancement of the Basic Law: Torah Study bill in the Knesset's House Committee.
Both measures address issues related to military service exemptions for haredi communities.
The advancement comes amid legal warnings regarding the proposed legislation. The bill seeks to provide a temporary suspension of enforcement actions against draft evaders while broader policy questions remain under review. The measure addresses enforcement procedures rather than changing the underlying draft requirements for the affected population.
