Netanyahu seeks to draft 10,500 haredim in next two years

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Sunday that he seeks to draft 10,500 haredim to the IDF in the next two years.

"10,500 within two years is the number that the army knows how to absorb, and we will also bring in heavy personal and institutional sanctions. At the same time, we will ensure that whoever enters as a haredi will leave as a haredi," Netanyahu said.
