Gallant Approves Start of Recruitment for Haredim for Military Service

The newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth" reported that Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has approved the start of recruiting Haredi Jews for military service within a month due to operational needs. The Israeli army intends to enlist 4,800 Haredi Jews in the coming year, according to Israel's Channel Seven. This comes amidst Israeli media reports that Gallant is facing criticism from Netanyahu and other ministers due to the Haredi recruitment laws and the extension of military service, which Gallant has supported despite government opposition.
