Israel’s Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, is urging the government to significantly increase enforcement of laws requiring military service, particularly targeting draft evasion. Her call comes as data reveals that a disproportionate 83% of draft evaders are from the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community. Baharav-Miara highlighted that less than 10% of indictments filed this year were against Haredi individuals evading service. This disparity has raised concerns about equitable application of the law and potential political interference. A leader from a Haredi political faction has already dismissed the Attorney General’s demands, questioning her authority on the matter. The issue of Haredi participation in mandatory military service remains a contentious and politically sensitive topic in Israel. Increased enforcement could potentially trigger significant backlash from Haredi parties within the governing coalition.
