On June 25, 2024, Israel's Supreme Court made a final ruling to prohibit a significant number of ultra-Orthodox Jewish men from the 'Haredi' sect from dodging the military draft based on religious beliefs, dealing a heavy blow to Prime Minister Netanyahu's government. The court's decision scrapped the government funding for religious schools catering to Haredi students and mandated immediate drafting of these men, highlighting ongoing societal tensions over their exemption from military service for decades. Netanyahu's coalition government relies on support from two Haredi parties for its majority in the Knesset, and the loss of this support due to the draft issue threatens his administration, potentially leading to early elections.

Kidney disease is a significant issue among Black Americans, who are more likely to develop kidney failure due to factors like diabetes and high blood pressure. Despite the higher need for transplants, Black Americans are less likely to receive them, and kidneys from Black donors are more likely to be discarded. This is due to a flawed system that considers all Black donor kidneys as more likely to fail after transplantation. The focus on race rather than genetic factors contributes to the waste of potentially usable kidneys, raising ethical concerns and perpetuating racial health disparities in organ transplantation.
