The most likely course of action is that those who object to serving will not be imprisoned, but will be treated like anyone else (e.g. Palestinian citizens of Israel) who doesn’t serve in the army, and that any government support for yeshivos will be tied to military service. If the army also decides to accomodate hareidim in the military (at the very least in special units that are conducted according to halacha), the crisis will pass.
I agree. I also believe that Yesh Atid (or Ein Atid, as Bear puts it) would agree as well. The main issue is the welfare, not the army (which, as many have pointed out, they don’t really want to include Charaidim). Perhaps the compromise will include “community service hours” (not Sherut, but something that can be under the auspices of a Charaidi Rov) for a year or two, which will then allow the Charaidim to legally work without having to join the army.
