Cabinet secretary claims Haredi enlistment bill will lead to draft of tens of thousands

Cabinet secretary Yossi Fuchs has spoken out in support of the government's proposed legislation on Haredi enlistment, criticizing opposition parties for rejecting the bill. Fuchs claims the measure is designed to bring 23,000 Haredi soldiers into the military within three and a half years. He argues that the addition of new regular soldiers will significantly reduce the burden on reserve battalions, potentially saving the equivalent of 60 reserve units. The debate highlights ongoing tensions over military service requirements and the integration of the Haredi community.
