Ultra-Orthodox

Progress on the contentious haredi draft legislation has become intertwined with the push for the haredi parties - Shas and United Torah Judaism - to dissolve the Knesset and move up the election.

Officers from the station, as well as members of the police's Special Patrol Unit and Border Police, prevented the protesters from entering and dispersed them "through the usage of force."

The rabbinical courts operate according to their own internal rules, with virtually no external oversight.

Haskel told The Jerusalem Post that over the weekend, “phone calls were made to almost all coalition members in order to check their positions and pressure them to vote on the conscription law.”

Ultra-Orthodox parties face mounting political backlash as Israel’s war strains the reserve system and coalition stability.

Concerns mount that Israel’s new legislation could reshape democracy in a Hungary-like direction.

In the end, Israelis will survive this election. But the real question remains unanswered: What kind of society will be here once it is over?

Groups of ultra-Orthodox men have upped their protests amid increasing tensions regarding a haredi draft bill in the Knesset. 

Additionally, any use of a water cannon to disperse a demonstration must be recorded with full visual documentation, ensuring appropriate image quality and audible sound.

A police officer declared the gathering a public disturbance and called on the protesters to clear the road, leading to the arrest of one man.
