The Israel Police and the attorney general have failed to crack down on ultra-Orthodox organizations promoting military draft evasion by yeshiva students, allowing them to operate unchecked despite demands for investigation. Multiple initiatives have sprung up to guide yeshiva students through their new post-exemption reality and encourage them to disregard IDF enlistment orders. Advocacy groups have called for a criminal investigation into the activities of these organizations, but have not received confirmation of any active investigations. Law enforcement authorities are being accused of neglecting their authority and condoning criminality on an important issue.
