Israel's supreme court orders conscription of ultra-Orthodox Jewish men | ABC News

Israel's supreme court has ruled that ultra-Orthodox Jewish men must be drafted into the armed forces like other citizens, threatening to anger Benjamin Netanyahu's allies and destabilise his coalition government. The decision has invalidated the executive government's authority to exempt Haredi men from military service. Judges dictated that Haredi Judaism institutes for Torah study cannot be eligible for state subsidies unless their disciples serve in the IDF.
