Overview
- Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara filed a notice to the court in the Haredi conscription cases and ordered officials not to use coalition-allocated money that would indirectly finance draft evasion.
- Her filing lists sanctions that do not need new laws, including suspending public-transport discounts, access to discounted-housing lotteries, and subsidized daycare for men who have not arranged service with the army.
- The notice cites a late-night Knesset move that approved hundreds of millions of shekels for Haredi programs in a route she says bypassed her guidance.
- In a separate step, the State Prosecution appealed what it calls a lenient sentence for Karol Pasler, who left four-year-old Rafael Adna to die, after a traffic court gave one year in prison, 10,000 shekels to the family, and a lifetime license ban.
- Prosecutors say the court ignored Supreme Court calls for tougher punishment in abandonment cases, and the appeal now goes to the Central District Court in Lod.
