The government is requesting separate representation at the recruitment high court. The move is apparently intended to buy time and ask the High Court for more time to prepare for the petition.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met today with some members of the Knesset in Torah Judaism at his office in Jerusalem. The purpose of the meeting was also to regulate the yeshiva budgets that were frozen following the High court's decision. The Torah sages of Shas sent a sharp letter against the conscription law. The rabbis even attack the possibility of promoting a law with targets and quotas.
