Former prime minister Naftali Bennett has published a proposal detailing a pathway to conscript Haredi men into the IDF and secure the necessary funding for their integration, according to his official channel.
Former prime minister Naftali Bennett published a detailed proposal on Tuesday for drafting Haredi men into the IDF and funding their integration into the military and workforce. The plan, distributed through his official channel, outlines a framework for mobilizing yeshiva students while ensuring the state covers the costs of religious accommodation and vocational training. Bennett's initiative enters a charged political debate: Israel's High Court has ordered the state to begin conscripting Haredi men by July 1, 2026, a deadline the government has struggled to meet without fracturing the coalition. No other party leaders have formally responded to Bennett's plan as of Tuesday afternoon.
