Amid Israel’s unprecedented war on multiple fronts, Israel’s Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara escalated her obsessive war against the Olam HaTorah on Monday, freezing the transfer of millions of dollars to Chareidi yeshivos only hours after the government passed the budget, and submitting a notice to the Supreme Court outlining a series of economic and civil sanctions against bnei yeshivos who fail to enlist.

The document, formulated under her deputy, attorney Gil Limon, details a long list of economic measures that she demands be immediately implemented against bnei yeshivos, including the revocation of discounts on public transportation, subsidized daycare under all criteria, participation in funding after‑school programs, and property tax discounts.

In addition, Baharav-Miara detailed a series of other measures that extend beyond individuals to institutions and programs, demanding that the state enforce full compliance with military‑status requirements, including scholarships and study‑funding programs, student assistance programs, participation in civil‑service tenders, support for Torah institutions, subsidized daycare in programs designated for Torah students, National Insurance discounts, programs for at‑risk Chareidi youth, and technological‑student tracks through the Ministry of Labor. The Attorney General is demanding the prevention of any state funding that may support those who choose limmud Torah over military service.

She further outlined “high-impact measures” to be considered later, including revoking rental assistance, housing loans, and even limiting tax exemptions on property transactions, steps that professionals warn could push thousands of families below the poverty line.

In the document, Baharav-Miara demands that all state authorities act immediately to intensify enforcement efforts, including criminal disciplinary and criminal measures against “draft dodgers” themselves and through withdrawing government funding that directly or indirectly supports them.

Baharav-Miara’s notice to the court is far more than a technical legal document but marks a clear shift to a more aggressive policy, demanding that the government leverage budgetary tools, welfare benefits, and civil‑service mechanisms to persecute the Olam HaTorah.
