Draft dodgers will either 'enlist or go to prison,' Netanyahu says in closed-door meeting – report
Further, KAN reported that Netanyahu acknowledged the draft law was unsuccessful and that it would not be brought back in the next government.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated in a closed-door meeting that ultra-Orthodox (haredi) draft evaders who are not engaged in Torah study will face a choice: "enlist or go to prison." According to KAN News, Netanyahu admitted the current draft law was ineffective and would not be reintroduced by the next government. He clarified that the law temporarily halting draft dodger arrests was intended to "lower the flames and increase the number of recruits among the Haredi public."
