During a High Court hearing on the conscription law, Justice Noam Solberg pushed back against attorney Nathan Rosenblatt's claim that the Court has always ruled against the Haredi public, noting that most petitions on Haredi conscription since the state's founding have been rejected. Rosenblatt had argued that the High Court is the reason there is no conscription law.
Justice Noam Solberg of the High Court of Justice sharply corrected attorney Nathan Rosenblatt during Tuesday's hearing on the conscription law, after Rosenblatt asserted that the Court has consistently ruled against the Haredi public and is the reason no conscription law exists. Solberg countered that the record shows the opposite: the vast majority of petitions regarding Haredi conscription since the founding of the state have been rejected by the Court. 'You are not correct,' the justice told the attorney. The exchange reflected the tense atmosphere in the courtroom as the High Court hears petitions challenging the current legal framework for Haredi military service.
