Last week, YWN-ISRAEL reported that the High Court of Justice did not accept a Hiddush petition seeking to compel Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon to immediate order the induction of chareidim.

Following is a clarification:

Hiddush’s petition actually has not yet been addressed by the Supreme Court. That hearing was dedicated to the question of whether or not a show-cause order should be issued for the petition from the Movement for Government Quality and on whether or not to issue an interim injunction for the students that should have been drafted.

There are three petitions that the Supreme Court is hearing on this issue. Hiddush’s petition addresses the continued funding of yeshiva students despite the annulment of the Tal law. The petition’s relating to the draft deferrals were not Hiddush’s petition.
