The Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee is scheduled to begin voting on the second and third readings of the bill that would freeze arrests of yeshiva students who do not enlist, on Tuesday, according to parliamentary sources. The voting stage follows the committee's conclusion of debates on the legislation earlier this week. Earlier Thursday, MK Yinon Azoulay (Shas) stated that the committee had concluded its debates and that votes would begin next week, as The Zioneer reported. The bill, which would grant immunity from arrest to Haredi non-enlistees, has been a contentious issue in the coalition, with Defense Minister Israel Katz having requested the debate and opposition MKs criticizing the process. The bill's advancement marks a significant step in the coalition's efforts to formalize a legal framework for Haredi military service exemptions.
