Ultra-Orthodox flood Jerusalem to protest conscription

Tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox men have covered the entrance to Jerusalem in a sea of black to protest plans to draft them into the military, singing, clapping and holding signs saying they would rather go to jail. The current draft exemption given to the ultra-Orthodox has caused deep divisions in Israeli society, emerging as the most serious threat to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. The embattled leader relies on ultra-Orthodox parties to keep his government limping along, but their attempts to pass a law to permanently exempt ultra-Orthodox Israelis from military service could sink his government and spark early elections.

Trump made the surprise announcement on Truth Social while aboard his Marine One helicopter flying to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping for a trade-negotiating session in Busan, South Korea.
