Israeli High Court Ruling Threatens Netanyahu's Power Amid Haredim Exemption Controversy

Israel's Supreme Court ordered the suspension of state subsidies for ultra-Orthodox Jews studying in yeshivas instead of doing military service, imperiling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition. The decision has deep ramifications for society and Netanyahu's government, as ultra-Orthodox leaders see it as a betrayal of promises from Netanyahu. The issue of military conscription for the ultra-Orthodox has become increasingly contentious, with the court ruling exacerbating tensions within the coalition and potentially leading to early elections.
