The government informed the Supreme Court on Thursday evening that it will not move forward at this stage with the issue of the conscription of Chareidim into the IDF, citing the ongoing war with Iran and the intensive military operation currently underway.

In the official position submitted to the court, the government stated that all attention and resources of the political leadership are presently directed toward managing the security campaign and supporting the home front.

Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fuchs noted that since the launch of Operation Roaring Lion, all relevant bodies—including the ministerial team established to address Chareidi conscription— have halted their work on the matter. “The government’s primary effort is focused on achieving victory in this existential war and providing support to civilians, and at this time, it is simply not possible to return to dealing with a matter that remains under dispute.”

The announcement comes in response to petitions to the court demanding that the state resolve the draft question and avoid further delays. However, the government emphasized that the exceptional security circumstances necessitate a temporary postponement of the discussion.
