A recent survey of 800 IDF reservists who fought in the Israel-Hamas War reveals that a majority agree that the draft must include ultra-Orthodox Jews. 77% of respondents believe that Israel can no longer afford to exempt the ultra-Orthodox from military service. The survey also shows cross-political agreement, with 65% of religious respondents and 76% of right-wing respondents supporting the drafting of the ultra-Orthodox. Additionally, 73% of reservists believe that any law that does not lead to significant recruitment of ultra-Orthodox youth is un-Zionist and harms those currently serving. The survey's implications could be substantial for the political system, as three-fifths of respondents stated they would consider not voting for a party that supports an exemption law.
