💨 Abstract

Israel's military has started issuing call-up notices to 7,000 ultra-Orthodox community members to bolster its forces, a decision that may escalate tensions between religious and secular Israelis. This move comes after the Supreme Court ended blanket exemptions for Jewish seminary students from the conscript military in June. The ultra-Orthodox community leaders are concerned that serving alongside secular Israelis, including women, could harm their religious identity.
