The rabbinic leadership of the Hasidic Agudat Yisrael faction concluded a meeting on proposed legislation regarding ultra-Orthodox military conscription without issuing a public condemnation of the bill. This unexpected decision was noted by Hebrew media outlets, as the group is known for its opposition to such measures. According to sources cited by Haaretz, the faction is expected to release a statement indicating that a decision was reached but will not disclose its contents. This approach allows the legislation to move forward while the group continues to oppose penalties for those who avoid the draft.
