Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara refused the government’s request to allow separate representation for the court debate regarding the recruitment of bnei yeshivos due to the irreconcilable gaps between her and the government’s positions.
Baharav-Miara based her refusal on the fact that the government has not yet presented a position to the Supreme Court on the Chareidi recruitment issue. She also warned the government that it must act to recruit bnei yeshivos immediately and that the State currently has no authority to grant an exemption to bnei yeshivos of conscription age.
She wrote that “as of April 1, 2024, there is no legal source of authority to grant a blanket exemption of bnei yeshivos from conscription for military service and the security system must act to recruit them according to law.”
She also demanded that the state present a plan to the court by April 30, 2024 regarding how it is working to implement the recruitment of bnei yeshivos.
Channel 14 journalist Moti Kastel responded to the report by stating: “Her response is so ridiculous that it’s hard to even where to begin. She claims that no government position was presented – what is obviously incorrect. The position of the prime minister and the government was expressed very clearly in the response submitted to the Supreme Court. And it’s also clear that there’s an unbridgeable gap.”
It is widely believed that the Attorney-General, who was hired to represent the government and not work against it, is using the issue of Chareidi recruitment amid a war to bring down the government.

One random unelected woman has the power to overturn Torah learning in entire Eretz Israel. Explain to me how that makes sense
At a time the country is bracing a devastating attack from Iran, she’ll do better to support Torah and Yahadus and not create an irreparable rift in the Israeli society than only encourages our enemies.
Just yesterday, Hamas rejected Israels ceasefire and hostage swap proposal emboldened by Biden AND the Israeli leftist protests.
FAMILIES OF HOSTAGES: COMPLAINT AGAINST YOUR FRIEND Baharav-Miara WHY YOUR LOVED ONES ARE STILL SUFFERING WORSE THAN IN AUSCHWITZ!
yeah sure right and how many kids will start 2 enlist in to the army 0
as if they don’t know even that the torah is holding up the world but of course they don’t care about the jews anymore anywhere in the world it’s all about the money and money more money and more power and on
Why she wasn’t fired on day 1 is still a mystery
BIBI and the Likud are very weak, they talk a lot but do very little
It’s time they all be replaced with Frum erlich yidden who have a backbone and care more about their fellow brethren than what the nations of the world have to say about us
The leftists keep on shooting themselves in the foot, fighting a war constantly on the defensive and groveling for legitimization in the global media, while at the same time riling up a huge segment of their own people. The leftists are simps and bullies at the same time.
Mind boggling on every level. How could one unelected individual impose her wishes without the consent of anyone else? How could anyone in their right mind fire up the flames of מחלוקת again after seeing what it caused in terms of empowering our enemies naturally and spiritually? And finally, how, in the face of the threats we are facing, could anyone pick a direct fight with Hashem and the Torah?
The AG has no authority to put her empty words into action. If she cannot be fired (I hope she can and will be fired because she obviously is not representing the government and therefore is not doing her job), then she should be ignored. She is mouthy but apparently also an idiot.
bena2005:
Because that’s what the Zionists want, of course. The entire purpose of Zionism is to change Judaism into godless nationalism/Zionism. Shmading the chareidi Jews and finishing off Torah study there is exactly what they want.
But Nettzch Yisrael lo yishaker. The Zionist idol will be history, and it seems that will be (much) sooner rather than later.
