Earlier today, the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee distributed the final version of the bill freezing arrest proceedings for yeshiva students who do not enlist. The deadline for submitting reservations is Tuesday at 13:00, and the law's validity extends through November 30, 2026, the committee stated.
The bill, first drafted by MK Eli Hirshman as a 90-day freeze on arrest proceedings, as The Zioneer reported on June 28, has been updated to a fixed validity date of November 30. The final version now awaits committee votes on reservations, with the main vote expected to begin Tuesday.
The legislation aims to halt arrest proceedings for draft-dodging yeshiva students while enforcement mechanisms, including inspectors at yeshivot, are being implemented.
