Prime Minister Netanyahu said in a newly aired interview that the IDF enlistment bill he is pushing will result in 17,000 Chareidi soldiers joining the IDF within the next three years.
“I expect the Chareidi public to join in, to give this a chance. I want the Rabbonim to show support,” Netanyahu said in an interview, urging Chareidi leaders to back the legislation when it comes to the Knesset.
For the past year, Chareidi political leadership has been fighting to pass a law that would largely maintain broad exemptions for full-time yeshiva students. Their push intensified after the High Court ruled that the decades-long system of blanket exemptions for Chareidi men was illegal.

The translation on this video is WAAAAAY off. Netanyahu is speaking about the leftists and opposition leaders not about the haredim. He is saying that the left/opposition should support the law because it accomplishes what they are calling for. That the left/opposition should encourage the hareidi leadership/rabbis to support the law. Whomever did this translation is either a fool or a rasha.
