Cancellation of the Draft Law Without Sanctions: The Party of the Radical Rabbis

A group of radical rabbis behind the anti-draft protests is trying to establish a party focused on passing a law canceling the draft for Haredim without targets or sanctions. Last week they approached Gur Hasidism figure Moti Babchik, who committed to working for a draft law without sanctions or targets within Agudat Yisrael and invited them to join. The radicals asked to name the party "Black Color".

A group of radical rabbis who stood behind the protests against the draft are trying to establish a party that will focus on passing a law canceling the draft for Haredim without targets and sanctions, as was learned today (Sunday) by i24NEWS. The party approached Gur Hasidism figure Moti Babchik last week, who met with them, with an offer to cooperate. Babchik committed to them that they would continue to work for passing a draft law without sanctions and targets within the existing political framework of Agudat Yisrael and invited them to join the party. The radicals asked to name the party "Black Color" after the system designed to disrupt arrests of Haredi draft dodgers. It should be noted that last Wednesday protests took place again in protest against the arrest of a draft dodger, and Highway 4 was blocked to traffic near the Bnei Brak interchange. As a result of the blockage, heavy traffic congestion is being recorded in the central area.
