Knesset plenum is set to begin the final vote on the arrest freeze bill for Charedi draft evaders, according to N12 journalist Dafna Liel. The move comes despite the Chief of Staff's warning against stripping the IDF's detention authority.
The Knesset plenum is about to begin the final approval process for the arrest freeze bill, which would halt the detention of Charedi draft evaders. According to N12 political correspondent Dafna Liel, the discussion is expected to start shortly, despite a warning from the IDF Chief of Staff. The Chief of Staff had cautioned that the bill would undermine the military's ability to enforce conscription laws, as The Zioneer previously reported. The bill is part of a broader legislative package the coalition is pushing through before the Knesset recesses for the election campaign. Earlier this week, the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee approved the bill for second and third readings. The final vote in the plenum is the last step before the bill becomes law.
