UTJ uses Finance Committee to restore subsidies for draft-age yeshiva men

After the High Court ordered the state to stop funding yeshivas for draft-eligible students who fail to enlist, the Knesset Finance Committee — chaired by UTJ's Moshe Gafni — moved during 2024 to restore daycare and related subsidies for ultra-Orthodox families whose men do not perform military service, working to offset the financial pressure the court ruling placed on the Haredi sector.
