The full text of MK Eli Hirshman's bill, published by N12, stipulates a 90-day halt on arrest proceedings from the day of enactment. The bill tasks inspectors with roaming yeshivas to verify student presence, defines yeshiva student eligibility criteria, and requires the defense minister to compile an approved yeshivas list.
The published bill text, reported by N12 legal reporter Eli Hirshman, freezes enforcement against draft-dodging yeshiva students for 90 days from the day the law is passed. Inspectors — not police — will patrol yeshivas to verify attendance, according to the draft. The defense minister will compile a list of yeshivas that maintain regular Torah study, and the IDF chief of staff will establish a committee to examine individual student status. The text adds that a yeshiva student defined under the bill may not engage in any additional occupation. The bill is single-source, based on Hirshman's N12 report. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, the draft text follows an earlier coalition proposal to halt proceedings against yeshiva students who evade service.
