The Controversy Over Equitable Burden-Sharing In Israel's National Defense
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 04
Abstract
The war in the Middle East has intensified the longstanding debate over the conscription of Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) men into the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). For decades, ultra-Orthodox communities have been largely exempt from military service, instead focusing on religious studies, a policy that has become increasingly contentious as the Haredi population grows. The evolving relationship between Israeli society and the IDF indicates broader social transformations within the country. The rise of liberal ideologies raises important questions about the future of the citizen-soldier model and its implications for national security. The war has underscored the need for a unified defense strategy, challenging the existing social contract between the state and ultra-Orthodox communities. As Israeli society struggles with these tensions, the need for a dialogue that bridges ideological divides becomes increasingly critical for fostering a cohesive national identity capable of addressing internal and external challenges. This paper examines how the military conflict has heightened the national conversation around equitable burden-sharing, with many Israelis advocating for including Haredi men in national defense efforts. This paper explores the potential implications of the war on future policies regarding military conscription, assessing whether the current conflict may lead to significant shifts in Israeli society and governance.
