- Giyus Update: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu advances the previous version of the charedi conscription law that passed its first reading during the Lapid-Bennett government's tenure in January 2022. The announcement came on Wednesday, after weeks of negotiations between haredi representatives and the prime minister's office and just a day before a final deadline for the state to update the High Court of Justice over its plans to conscript military-age haredi men. Pundits say this is just a ploy to stall time as opposition leaders will not accept this. As expected Benny Gantz soon rejected the move and called it a "political maneuver." The bill that passed its first reading in 2022 was intended as the foundation for a broad "Israeli Service Plan" in which all sectors of Israeli society would need to conduct national service of some form. However, the bill itself, which passed in 2022, was "not enough then" and is "irrelevant to the reality after October 7," Gantz said in a post on X.
