On this weekend episode we delve into the tensions over a bill to extend ultra-Orthodox Jews’ exemption from compulsory military service in Israel. As the deadline for a new conscription law looms, we explore the potential impact on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, the growing divide among Israelis, and the frustration of soldiers returning from Gaza. Join hosts Kim Vinnell and Maayan Lubell as they unpack the historical roots of this exemption, the economic strains on reservists, and the deepening rift between soldiers and politicians.
