The unanimous ruling by Israel’s highest court states that the military must begin drafting ultra-Orthodox men for military service.
The independent Movement for Quality Government in Israel, which filed the petition leading to the case, urged the government to immediately begin the draft process.
“We call on the government and the defense minister to implement the decision without delay, to comply with the High Court’s order, and to work immediately to draft [ultra-Orthodox] yeshiva students,” it said in a statement cited by Israeli media.
