Israel's Supreme Court ruled to halt government subsidies for ultra-Orthodox men exempt from military service, posing a challenge to PM Netanyahu's coalition. The decision aims to address discriminatory enlistment exemptions. Netanyahu seeks an extension to devise a new plan, as tensions rise within the coalition. Opposition leaders support the court's decision, emphasizing the need for equitable service obligations. Ultra-Orthodox parties denounce the ruling, threatening Netanyahu's fragile coalition. Failure to resolve the issue could lead to early elections. Alternative proposals face opposition from Haredi parties, escalating the debate over military service exemptions.
