Haredi Faction Leader Denounces Military Conscription as Genocide
Rabbi Tzvi Friedman, a prominent leader of the extremist 'Yerushalmi' faction known as the 'Retzepnikim', has issued a fierce letter condemning the enforcement of military conscription on ultra-Orthodox students, equating it to genocide. In his directive, he strictly forbids participation in upcoming elections and calls for mass protests and active resistance. Police are currently preparing for potential traffic blockades and civil unrest on election day as tensions rise over the ongoing debate regarding yeshiva student draft exemptions.
