Government Secretary Yossi Fuchs admitted Tuesday that the freeze on arrests of yeshiva students is likely to last about six months, not the three months initially stated. According to a report by Amit Segal (N12), Fuchs acknowledged the extension, marking a significant concession in the ongoing conscription crisis.
This admission follows Fuchs' earlier statements over the weekend. On Saturday, he expressed support for the freeze, arguing that arrest pressure distances potential recruits from the IDF. He also warned that the arrests risked triggering civil war, as The Zioneer reported. The revised timeline — twice the original duration — suggests the government is anticipating a prolonged standoff over the conscription of yeshiva students.
