Israel's Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has instructed the Education Ministry to revoke daycare subsidies for those who evade military service, starting next school year. The directive targets parents who do not serve or actively dodge conscription, according to the legal opinion.
Israel's Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has ordered the Education Ministry to deny daycare subsidies to parents who evade military service, starting next school year. The directive, reported Tuesday evening, seeks to end state-funded benefits for those who actively avoid conscription.
The move follows a broader trend of tightening economic incentives around military service. As The Zioneer reported on June 21, the Treasury is advancing a plan to cancel the National Insurance discount for full-time yeshiva students and university students — a separate but parallel effort to reduce benefits for those not serving.
The Attorney General's order applies to daycare programs under the Education Ministry. Implementation details and which specific groups are affected have not yet been published.
