The draft exemption law, which grants an exemption to ultra-Orthodox men from serving in the Israel Defense Forces, is expected to pass with the support of the coalition. Housing Minister Yitzhak Goldknopf threatened to vote against the state budget unless the law was expedited. Defense Minister Israel Katz is working to ensure the law's passage by lobbying opponents and undecideds. Despite public anger over the draft exemptions, the proposed amendments are likely to increase draft evasion rather than increase recruitment. The Supreme Court may face petitions challenging the law's validity.
