Religious Zionism demanded and received an exemption for Zionist yeshivas from a clause allowing the Defense Ministry to appoint supervisors alongside the Education Ministry, due to the high enlistment rates in these yeshivas, according to a report by journalist Shalom Stein.
The latest development in the Knesset's conscription legislation sees Religious Zionism securing an exemption for Zionist yeshivas from a supervision clause. According to journalist Shalom Stein, the exemption removes the possibility of the Defense Ministry appointing inspectors in addition to the Education Ministry, citing the high enlistment rates in these yeshivas. The arrest-freeze bill, which has drawn opposition from the IDF and the Knesset's legal advisor over its legal and operational implications (as previously reported by The Zioneer), continues to be negotiated within the coalition.
