A political deal between Prime Minister Netanyahu and Haredi coalition parties to grant immunity from arrest to draft evaders is being reported in greater detail, according to The Zioneer. The agreement reportedly aims to legislate a mechanism shielding Haredi draft evaders from arrest.
A new report from The Zioneer details an emerging deal between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Haredi coalition parties to grant legislative immunity from arrest to draft evaders. The report follows a series of prior disclosures over the past ten days (as The Zioneer reported on June 15, June 23, and again earlier tonight). The earlier reports described successive stages: first, a frozen arrest initiative driven by Hasidic court pressure; then an explicit agreement (per i24NEWS) to swap a no-arrest bill for a state commission of inquiry; and a later meeting with Shas leaders linking the measure to other coalition legislation. Tonight's report by reports frames the deal as a concerted effort to provide blanket arrest protection for draft evaders, presenting the most direct formulation yet of the legislative purpose. The exact text of the proposed bill, its legal vetting, and the timeline for its advancement remain unconfirmed. The story continues to develop through a single channel's reporting; multi-source corroboration is awaited.
