Israel's top court orders government to draft ultra-Orthodox Jews, in blow to Netanyahu

Israel’s Supreme Court has ruled that the government must draft ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) Israeli Jews into the military. This decision is seen as a blow to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his ruling coalition, which relies on Haredi parties to govern. The court’s order is likely to face resistance from the ultra-Orthodox community, as it goes against their long-standing exemption from military service. The government will now have to find a way to implement the court’s ruling and address the potential backlash from the Haredi community. This is a developing story.
