The High Court of Justice on Wednesday issued a conditional order against the law that would freeze arrests of yeshiva students who evade military service. The order, reported by Channel 14, requires the state to explain why the law should not be invalidated. Commentators on Channel 14 reacted: Yotam Zemer criticized the government's handling, saying it is not satisfied with what it is given and has only three months until elections. Itamar Fleishman defended the law, arguing that many of its critics served in the military's radio station and therefore cannot speak about mutual responsibility. The Knesset legal advisor had previously warned the bill was legally flawed and likely to be struck down.
