Israel’s Supreme Court rules ultra-Orthodox men must be drafted into military
Israel’s Supreme Court has ruled that the army must draft the country’s ultra-Orthodox Jews.
The ruling could split Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government.
Ultra-Orthodox parties are part of Netanyahu’s ruling coalition and without them the government will collapse leading to new elections.
The court said Israel’s compulsory military service applies to the ultra-Orthodox like other citizens.
Omar Ashour’s a security and military studies professor with the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies.
He says Israel’s army will welcome the court’s decision.
