Israel's Attorney General requested an extension from the High Court to respond to a draft law on conscripting yeshiva students. The government seeks to avoid mandatory Haredi conscription amid a legal row over military service exemptions for ultra-Orthodox Jews. Netanyahu asks for a 30-day extension to address mainstream anger at the exemptions. The High Court endorsed universal draft, deferring enforcement until August 9. The Supreme Court ordered an end to subsidies for ultra-Orthodox men not serving in the army, impacting yeshivas.
