Amid ongoing war with Hamas, Israel plans to extend compulsory military service for men

[Collection]Israel plans to extend compulsory military service for men from 32 months to 36 months, with a vote scheduled for Sunday. If approved, this extension will last for eight years amid the ongoing war with Hamas and debates over ultra-Orthodox draft legislation. Critics argue this move unfairly burdens current soldiers and allows many Haredi men to avoid military service.
