High Court poised to strike down law banning Haredi draft-dodger arrest after hearing
The High Court is likely to strike down a law that banned arrests of Haredi draft-dodgers. Justices minimally challenged arguments that the law was discriminatory and violated Knesset procedure, while strongly opposing the Haredi claim that the Torah forbids enlistment.
