Legal officials have strongly criticized a new proposal by Bismuth that would suspend individual penalties for Haredi draft evaders for several years. Currently, all eligible individuals are required to enlist, with those who do not facing arrest or travel restrictions. The proposed plan would delay these sanctions for yeshiva students, applying penalties only after several years and only if broader community quotas are not fulfilled. Critics argue that this approach could enable widespread draft evasion within the Haredi community.
