Israel-Hamas war: Israel's Supreme Court says ultra-Orthodox men must serve in the military
Israel's Supreme Court has ruled on a law mandating the conscription of ultra-Orthodox Jewish men into the military. The move appears to be threatening the stability of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition. Leaders of two ultra-Orthodox parties opposed the ruling, but issued no immediate threat to the government. The issue has been a longstanding source of friction with more secular citizens. It is further stoked by the country's costly mobilisation for the war in Gaza. Sarah Coates reports.
