Israel’s Supreme Court ordered the government to start conscripting Ultra-Orthodox men into military service, overturning their long-standing exemption. The ruling, which also calls for the state to stop funding seminaries whose students avoid the draft, poses a challenge to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ruling coalition. The decision highlights the ongoing division in Israel and the court's focus on equality, as the draft exemption for the Ultra-Orthodox has been a contentious issue for years.
