Israel's Supreme Court has ruled that ultra-Orthodox men must be subject to compulsory military service, ending longstanding exemptions and potentially impacting PM Netanyahu’s coalition amid ongoing conflict in Gaza.
In a controversial move that has sparked fierce protests and political backlash, Israel's Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, approved the issuance of 7,000 military draft orders for Ultra-Orthodox Jews (Haredim). This decision marks a significant shift in Israel's long-standing policy of exempting religious students from military service, and has led to heated debates over the role of religion in national defense. With the country already in the midst of conflict, this move comes amid growing pressure from Israel's secular majority and tensions with the Ultra-Orthodox political parties.

In a provocative and chilling statement, Iran has called for the execution of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, escalating tensions between Tehran and Tel Aviv.
