Thousands of haredim are preparing to demonstrate the permit law, causing traffic disruptions

The Jerusalem station of YITZCHAK Navon will be close on Thursday as tens of thousands meet with the law proposed by the haredi law in the meeting of the “million man.”

Thousands of haredim are calling to Jerusalem on Thursday to protest against the proposed ultra-Orthodox martial law in Israel, which “led to a mass march” in March.

Jerusalem’s YITZCHAK Navon train station was closed on Thursday at 1:30 pm, and protesters have begun to block the entrance to the city, leading to the closure of the highway.

Highway 1 is closed to traffic in both areas, especially in the area of ​​Latrun to Sakharov Gradens, including the entrance to Jerusalem via Highway 16 and S Shaar Hagai, from 12 PM. This closure is subject to change.

In clear anticipation of the blockades, a large number of haredim had proceeded to Jerusalem before the time of the protest. Roads throughout the city have also been blocked, according to Israeli police.

About 2,000 police officers and paramilitary personnel were deployed during the protest.

Foreign Affairs and the Chairman of the Defense Committee Mk Bloaz Bismuth is expected to present the draft of the Bill next week, tens of thousands of people to be called to the law “: 30-4: 30 pm Thursday, each.

Calling for the Torah, organizers of the meeting, include the haredi groups United Torah Judaism (UTJ) and Shas.

Both Utj and Shas resigned from the government in July following negotiations over military service requirements for the Ultra-Orthodox. At the time of their departure, the bill was under the chairmanship of the Komeset of foreign countries and the Sidio of the Committee, Yuli Edelstein, who was later removed from the post and replaced by Bismuth, who was working on a new draft of the law.

The debate on the Bill will be held on Monday

Earlier this week, Bismuth’s office announced that the debate on the Bill would be moved to Monday at the Prime Minister’s request.

While the proposal was originally scheduled to be presented to the committee this Thursday, Bismuth’s Office announced on Monday that the discussion will be moved to the following Monday at the request of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“Now this discussion will take place on Monday next Monday, to allow the prime minister time to review the type of legislation that has been introduced,” the statement said.

N12 reported on Tuesday that the mature version of Bismuth’s draft showed a major change in pay, returning to previous versions that failed to force haredi recruitment into the IDF.

Important changes in the Bill are reported to include the cancellation of the quota requirement for combat troops, allowing the public security service to count on haredi re-hiring, and revising the definition of who qualifies as haredi, such as N12.
