Opposition MKs have demanded that the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee examine whether Haredi lawmakers serving on the panel have a personal conflict of interest in voting on the bill to freeze arrests of Haredi draft evaders, N12 reports. The demand comes amid ongoing votes in the committee on the legislation, which would prevent the military police from detaining yeshiva students who do not report for duty. The opposition argues that Haredi MKs, who represent the communities most affected by the bill, should not be voting on it without a conflict-of-interest review.
