The survey found that 70% of the ultra-Orthodox have not changed their opinion regarding conscription since the outbreak of the war between Israel and Hamas.
Young Israelis never hesitate to defend their country, and without their courage, Israel would cease to exist.
Something has changed in haredi society since October 7.
Yeshiva students are required to declare "Torah study is his occupation" at draft offices in order to receive a service deferral.
More than 7 in 10 Israelis want Shabbat transportation while nearly 8 in 10 support an IDF draft for yeshiva students, according to the recent Hiddush annual religion and state index for 2023.

Benny Gantz's outreach to the haredi sector is valuable as the ultra-Orthodox parties have threatened to take down the government if the new draft bill is not passed immediately.
Netanyahu has reportedly asked the haredi parties to soften their requests for a draft bill.
Nasrallah warned Israel "you too will go back to the stone age if you go to war with Lebanon."
