Netanyahu Faces Draft Revolt As Ultra Orthodox Fury Erupts Outside Israel's Top Court Judges Home

Is Israel heading toward a domestic crisis just as regional security threats continue to mount? A long-simmering dispute over military conscription has exploded into public confrontation, exposing deep divisions within Israeli society over who should serve in the country's armed forces. The controversy intensified after dozens of ultra-Orthodox protesters gathered outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg, a key figure in rulings related to Haredi military service. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly condemned the demonstration and called for strict action against those involved, while the incident triggered an emotional response from Sohlberg's family and renewed debate over the future of draft exemptions. At the heart of the dispute is the expiration of the legal framework that had allowed many ultra-Orthodox Jewish men to avoid compulsory military service. As pressure grows on the government to create a new system, anti-draft protests have escalated, including highway blockades and reported confrontations with police. The debate comes at a sensitive moment for Israel's security establishment. With military commitments stretching across multiple fronts and ongoing regional tensions, the demand for additional personnel has increased dramatically. Can Netanyahu balance the political influence of the ultra-Orthodox community with the military's growing manpower needs? And is the draft crisis becoming one of the biggest domestic challenges facing Israel today?
