The Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee approved Amendment No. 26 to the Security Service Law, known as the 'Integration of Yeshiva Students' bill, advancing it to final readings in the plenum. The bill aims to regulate the military service of Haredi yeshiva students, a long-standing political flashpoint.
