Attorney General Baharav-Miara has rejected Prime Minister Netanyahu's proposal to allow individuals avoiding military service to participate in the annual pilgrimage to Uman. In her legal opinion, she stated that the plan contradicts the law and undermines the state's responsibility to enforce conscription equally. The decision has sparked criticism from ultra-Orthodox leaders, who argue that it prevents their community from fulfilling important religious obligations. Despite the backlash, the attorney general emphasized that government ministers lack the authority to interfere with law enforcement in this manner.
