The IDF will issue 1,000 new draft notices to haredim on Sunday as part of 7,000 draft orders which it will issue over the next 6-8 weeks. The notices come despite opposition from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his haredi coalition partners. The IDF hopes to reach higher total numbers of haredim actually joining the army by doubling the number of notices being sent out. The IDF views the issue of haredim joining the IDF as primarily an issue for the government.
