On May 15, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he has decided to advance a highly contested bill that seeks to conscript ultra-Orthodox Jews, or Haredi, into the military. The draft law, which had passed in the first reading in the previous Knesset session, will be presented to a ministerial committee. Netanyahu is seeking support from Benny Gantz, who had previously endorsed the bill. The proposed legislation also includes provisions to lower the exemption age for ultra-Orthodox Jews.
