Haredi community activists are attempting to organize a protest convoy including all Haredi charitable organizations to a military prison, as a public statement on the ultra-Orthodox community's contribution to the state, according to reports.
Haredi community activists are reportedly attempting to lead a protest convoy, encompassing all Haredi charitable organizations, to a military prison. The effort is framed as a public declaration of the ultra-Orthodox community's contribution to Israeli society, amid ongoing tensions over military draft enforcement and the arrest of yeshiva students for draft evasion.
As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, Haredi protests have intensified, with previous demonstrations including blockades of the Beit Lid military prison (June 22) and confrontations in Jerusalem and Ashdod. The current initiative seeks to broaden participation by mobilizing the community's extensive network of charitable aid organizations — a significant segment of the community not typically involved in protest activity.
The attempt to unify the charitable sector in a protest message comes as the draft crisis continues, with arrests of yeshiva students triggering widespread anger in parts of the Haredi public. The details of the route and timing of the planned convoy have not been reported yet.
