Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWelcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world.
Legal reporter Jeremy Sharon joins host Jessica Steinberg for today’s episode.
Sharon first discusses how the IDF will go about conscripting ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students following the High Court ruling ordering the state to cease exempting tens of thousands of eligible young men.
He lists the various possibilities, including a lottery and the option of the IDF setting its sights on what he terms “the low-hanging fruit” — young Haredi men who do not attend an elite yeshiva, have received some secular academic education, and whose parents are part of the workforce.
Sharon then speaks about a High Court ban on the Jordan Valley settlement council seizing stray Palestinian livestock, as part of an ongoing situation in which the court aims to avoid a de facto annexation of land belonging to the local Palestinian population.
