Shas MK Moshe Abutbul visited an IDF military prison on Thursday afternoon to support detained yeshiva students, saying he heard about their hardships and desire to return to Torah study, according to the lawmaker's office.
Shas MK Moshe Abutbul visited an IDF military prison on Thursday afternoon to support yeshiva students currently detained there, continuing a series of visits by ultra-Orthodox lawmakers amid a deepening crisis over Haredi conscription. Abutbul said the students shared their personal stories and asked for help on several issues, which he discussed with the prison commander. The visit adds to a string of similar outreach: Shas MKs Yosef Tayeb and Yitzhak Mshariki visited Prison 10 on June 8, and MKs Uriel Bosso and Erez Mallul followed on June 14, as The Zioneer reported at the time. The recurring visits reflect the political salience of the detention of Haredi draft resisters as the Knesset debates the terms of a new conscription law. Abutbul did not specify which military facility he visited or how many inmates were involved.
