The Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee convened Tuesday morning for a debate on a proposal to grant a blanket pardon to Haredi men who have evaded military service, according to i24NEWS. The debate comes after Defense Minister Israel Katz formally requested a committee discussion on Sunday, as The Zioneer previously reported. The proposal represents a significant shift by Katz, who had previously blocked similar legislation. The outcome of the debate and the bill's prospects remain unclear.
