Boaz Bismuth

A video of a journalist from N12 having items thrown at her was shared on social media, where two reporters and their camera crew were attacked by protesters.

The outline of Bismuth’s draft lays out principles under which 50% of the haredi draft cohort will be enlisted within five years and the exemption age will be set at 26.

The Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee wrapped three days of stormy talks on the haredi draft bill, focusing on whether to lower the exemption age of 26.

Rayten stated that Bismuth’s sections of the draft were entirely different from Edelstein's outline on the conscription bill.

Father of hostage Rom Braslavski accused MKs of neglect, warning his son is “dying” in Hamas captivity during a heated Knesset debate.

Enforcement sanctions on haredi draft dodgers would be frozen throughout the period of the emergency regulation, which would last for a year, Walla reported.

At the Gala, Netanyahu decried recent claims of genocide and starvation in Gaza, warning of the resurgence of centuries-old blood libel and antisemitism.

"We are in a process of change. It is very important to show the great contribution of all parts of society, but as far as I am concerned, you are pioneers," Netanyahu told the soldiers.

MK Boaz Bismuth opened the first meeting to discuss the haredi draft law since replacing MK Yuli Edelstein as Chairperson of the  Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

Edelstein’s draft framework, which he and his team left as an inheritance of sorts, outlines agreements reached with the haredim throughout the war, as well as the gaps that remain.
