Snippet:
Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara told the High Court of Justice on Tuesday that the government has yet to formulate a plan to revoke personal economic benefits from ultra-Orthodox (haredi) draft dodgers, despite evidence that such sanctions are effective. She warned that the omission ran contrary to previous court rulings and harmed both the IDF’s manpower needs and the principle of equality in military service.
