AG: Gov't violation of court order on Haredi draft enforcement 'a real danger to Israeli democracy'

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has informed the High Court of Justice that the government is violating a court order requiring it to establish policies for drafting tens of thousands of young ultra-Orthodox men who have not reported for military service. In a formal statement, Baharav-Miara warned that the government's refusal to comply with the court's directive poses a serious threat to the country's democracy by undermining judicial oversight of government actions. The attorney general emphasized that the government has neither implemented the court's ruling nor shown any intention of doing so, raising concerns about unchecked executive power. This response comes amid a request for a contempt of court ruling against the government, following its failure to act within the court-mandated deadline.
