In a late-night Knesset session Tuesday, the debate on the bill to freeze arrests of yeshiva students who do not enlist continued, with a notable scene: MK Yinon Azoulay (Shas) was seen studying Gemara, while opposition MKs watched the World Cup. The bill, which would grant immunity from arrest to Haredi draft evaders, has been a contentious issue in the coalition. As The Zioneer reported, the bill has advanced through the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee and was debated in the plenum, with opposition MKs submitting numerous reservations. The outcome of tonight's session remains unclear, but the behavior of the MKs reflects the polarized atmosphere surrounding the legislation.
