At the time of writing these lines, the Ministry of Justice is sitting on the bench trying to formulate a final opinion for the ultra-Orthodox recruitment plan.
The government is also trying to find a solution to the problem, so that once again we find ourselves at an intersection where the legal world and the political world meet or rather collide with each other.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is currently meeting with Legal Adviser to the Government Gali Beharev Miara and Justice Minister Yariv Levin in an attempt to make progress in drafting the government's decision.

What should happen now?
By the end of the month, the government must respond to an interim order (an order that leaves the situation on the ground as it is until a new decision - BA) that the High Court issued after the hearing in February on the issue of the recruitment of the ultra-Orthodox in the petitions submitted by the movement for the quality of government, Brothers for Arms, the civil democratic movement and more.
Since the High Court knows that the government is dragging its feet in providing answers to this issue, the court decided that the state must submit the data from the relevant yearbooks that are supposed to be mobilized so that if the state does not submit its answer to the High Court by the end of the month - the court will make its decision based on the recruitment data that the state submitted before him
According to the data provided to the court, this is about 63 thousand people.

Hearing on petitions against the government regarding the recruitment of ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students, the Supreme Court, February 26, 2024/Flash 90, Yonatan Zindel
How many Haredi Yeshiva students receive financial support from the Ministry of Education?
According to the data submitted by the government to the High Court, about 200,000 ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students are entitled to support of NIS 470 from the state. The budgetary issue is also on the agenda, since if there is no law to regulate the postponement of the conscription of the ultra-Orthodox, there is no legal way to transfer money to the yeshiva students.

the clash
According to the opinion of the Legal Adviser to the Government, Gali Beharev Miara, which was placed last night on the desk of Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fuchs, the government should enact a conscription law that has measurable goals, that is, explain how many Haredim will be conscripted in each yearbook.
In addition, the government must detail the economic incentives it will give to the ultra-Orthodox in order to enlist.
Following Beharev Miara's opinion, the government decided to publish a new draft, but the government meeting on the conscription law that was supposed to take place today was postponed, and a new date has not yet been set.
Postponing the session puts the government in a problem, since tomorrow the state has to respond to the High Court regarding the exemption from conscription, and without a government decision - the Speaker will not request an extension.
According to government sources, the reason for the postponement of the meeting is the legal objection of the ombudsman, who demands that the government's decision include numerical targets for quotas and not just general principles in order to defend the decision in the High Court, which arouses the opposition of the ultra-Orthodox.

what will happen now
If the government fails to formulate an outline for recruitment by the end of the month, it is likely that a conditional order will be issued - an order that reverses the burden of proof in the court and states that instead of the petitioners having to convince the court why to accept the petition, the state is the one who will have to provide the answers to the High Court as to why not Accept the petition so that the state will have to stand up and explain, perhaps for the first time, why the postponement of the conscription of the ultra-Orthodox is equal.
