Rav Moshe Maya, a senior member of Shas’ Moetzet Chachmei Hatorah and a former Knesset representative for the party, declared that Shas should immediately exit the governing coalition if the army detains even one yeshiva student for draft refusal.
Shas head Aryeh Deri paid a visit to Rav Maya’s home on Monday morning. During their discussion, Rav Maya brought up the ongoing challenges surrounding the Draft Law and the legal status of yeshiva students, expressing concern over the mounting difficulty in securing its passage.
In recent weeks, the military has issued tens of thousands of draft notices and thousands of arrest warrants to chareidi yeshiva students, sparking outrage within the community.
