Haredi draft exemption law
The current government of Israel is RIGHT-WING and supports draft exemptions for the Ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) population. The text reports on the Supreme Court striking down a law protecting draft dodgers, expressing a position opposing the RIGHT-WING government's policy. By rule 7, criticizing the position of the RIGHT-WING government aligns with the LEFT-WING position. | The text neutrally reports on a judicial decision regarding the constitutionality of a bill without partisan framing. Rule 8 applied.
