Given the war in the Gaza Strip and other missions, the Israeli army has announced the political controversial convocation of 54,000 ultrarthodox Jewish seminar students. An exemption was destroyed in the previous year.
The army thus confirmed the Israeli media reports on Sunday, which, according to the Ultra -Orthodox parties, made a compromise of the coalition of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The army announced special precautions to protect the religious worries of the Ultra -Orthodox Jews, the gathering direction should start in July.
The exception was tilted last year
The Supreme Court had tipped the decades of exception for ultrarorthodox seminarists of the general compulsory obligation last year. The court had decided that for religious reasons the Ministry of Defense could no longer grant an exception to a flat rate.
The military service is mandatory for everyone – especially with regard to the war in the Gaza Strip. After that, the first Ultra Orthodox Jews were already convened. The mandatory military service applies to most Israeli Jews aged 18 and older. The military service, which lasts 24 to 32 months, follows a service in the reserve. Family members of the Arab population of Israel, whose share is 21 percent, are mainly exempt from military service.
Since Israel was founded in 1948, his ultra -orthodox Jews also freed from the general military service to study religious writings. However, very little ultra -orthodox still lived in Israel.
In the meantime, their population has increased to 13 percent. Given the military operations of Israel against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Hisbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen and against Iran, this exception was more and more criticism.
