AG to Inform High Court: Draft Evaders Still Receive Discounts
Israel's Attorney General is set to report to the Supreme Court that municipal property tax and public transit subsidies continue to benefit ultra-Orthodox individuals who avoid military service. This occurs despite a judicial directive issued months ago requiring ministers to decide on canceling these financial perks within a strict timeframe. Although professional advisors have indicated no legal barriers exist to revoking these benefits, political leaders have yet to take action. The ongoing delay persists nearly half a year past the deadline mandated by the justices, leaving significant household discounts intact.
