Haredim and conscription
I haven’t really been able to understand what you think about the main claim of the Haredim (which they don’t make publicly, but this is the real reason) that a general conscription of the Haredim would completely dismantle the Haredi DNA, which is based on separatism, and thus destroy the world of Torah and spirit in the Land of Israel. My question is, in your opinion, is the claim incorrect, or is it correct but you are not interested in it because you have to conscript?

And one more thing, what do you think should be the government's correct strategy assuming that the court will oblige the government to mobilize, budget denial, forced mobilization, mobilization quotas, an arrangement? And do you think that something will happen in the end or will the Haredim threaten to dissolve the government and Bibi will manage to grant another extension?
Even the recruitment of a secular or Jewish person is forced.
What would be most relevant is to give the Haredim two options
Or give everyone an exemption at the age of 17 with scholarships for secular studies (which will help with the economy).
Or create a framework for recruiting Haredi Semites, for example in Tash and setting up meetings along the border for half a day of guarding and half a day of border protection. (There could also be a small group at the post, after all, most of the time it means them).
If you believe that the world exists only when there are Torah students (as explained by the Sages), then the Haredim should be exempted from the IDF, because they are the only ones among all types of Jews who study Torah so seriously, in quantity and quality. As any true scholar knows.
The Jew,
Tactics and assessments are a matter for politicians. It's pretty clear to me that coercion won't work here. Withholding budgets certainly will (and things have happened before). But in my opinion, it has no political chance. It's a dead end.
Maybe the High Court will save us, Fogelman was pretty clear that he was going to stop the funds for the evasion meetings a month after the state returns an answer.
