The Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee began voting on Tuesday afternoon on 3,600 reservations submitted by the opposition to the bill preventing arrests of Haredi draft evaders, according to a report by Eli Hirshman on N12. The voting aims to clear the way for final approval in the plenum in the coming days. Earlier today, opposition MK Dan Iluz submitted 105 reservations to the same bill, as The Zioneer reported at 12:54. The bill, which would freeze arrests of yeshiva students who evade military service, has been a key demand of Haredi parties in the coalition. Previous Knesset sessions saw extensive debate, with legal sources questioning the bill's feasibility.
