The IDF still plans to send out 7,000 draft orders to members of the ultra-Orthodox community after the firing of former defense minister Yoav Gallant.

Gallant had approved sending out the controversial draft orders only a day before he was fired.

New Defense Minister Israel Katz has not canceled the move. Therefore, the IDF still plans to send them out at the start of next week.
