Netanyahu Mulls Bill to End Ultra-Orthodox Draft Arrests Amid Protests
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is weighing a bill, supported by Aryeh Deri, to halt arrests of ultra-Orthodox draft evaders.
- Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox men protested outside the Beit Lid military prison near Kfar Yona on June 17, 2026, and police clashed with them.
- The Knesset’s House Committee advanced a Basic Law declaring Torah study a state value.
- Yair Lapid criticized Aryeh Deri for sending his children to block roads while his party serves government.
- Thousands of ultra-Orthodox demonstrators, including Rabbi Yaakov Aryeh Alter, gathered near Prison 10 at the Beit Lid military base.
- Police deployed stun grenades and batons, arrested five demonstrators and treated two protesters for minor injuries in central Israel.
- Givat Alonim residents said the protest caused anxiety, blocked home access, and strained emergency services.
- Hefer Valley Regional Council warned Highway 57, Kfar Yona Junction closures would delay buses, special transport.
- Center coverage highlighted the government's legislative response, noting a bill to suspend ultra-Orthodox arrests and a Basic Law elevating Torah study, which Left coverage did not mention.
- Left coverage gave more weight to on-the-ground effects—large demonstrators, local residents’ anxiety, and a yeshiva leaders’ letter—while Center focused on parliamentary actions and political criticism.
After the 1998 High Court ruling that the defense minister could not set Haredi draft exemptions, the Knesset approved the Tal Law in 2002, permitting a civilian-service alternative. The Supreme Court invalidated it in February 2012, noting that only 31 of the 1,115 yeshiva students who used the decision year later enlisted. The ruling sparked protests by the Jerusalem Faction and Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach at Beit Lid.

A Must-Have News for Staying Informed
This news app offers a beautifully designed,user-friendly experience that makes reading the news enjoyable and efficient . The app delivers high-quality journalism from trusted publishers,covering a wide range of topics including politics,entertainment,sports and local news. I love how the content is currated expertly,allowing me to personalize my feed based on my interests.
Nice App
Good to find unbiased news
Great App to Stay Informed Easily
I really like the app. I was looking for something that could give me summarized news about F1, and this does exactly what I needed. The other apps I tried were too opinionated and didn't offer much personalization. Drooid delivers news in short, card-style updates with images that make it visually appealing. The cool thing is that the app offers way more topics beyond F1- there's content for just about any interest. I'd recommend it to people like me - a bit lazy, but who want to stay informed without spending too much time reading.
Greatness
Drooid is great news app for my iPhone,I highly recommend it!
Loving it
Simple and straightforward layout. Refreshing new News App. Looking forward to using it as my go to for current events. Love the name!
Honestly, this app gave me both sides of the news stories. If you're like me, and are always looking for both sides of a story, this app is definitely a good one to check out
Great news app
With so many unreliable, misleading, and heavily editorialized stories passing for “news” these days, it can be a mental drain just pre-screening them for accuracy. Sorting the bad from the good is a best-use of AI, and occasional spot-checks have all come back good. I find myself going to it as my primary news source more and more!
Game changer for news consumption!
I’ve been using Drooid for a month now, and it has completely changed the way I consume news. The app delivers clear, concise, and balanced summaries that save me so much time while keeping me well-informed. I really appreciate how it presents multiple perspectives on each story and provides context without bias. The interface is clean and easy to use, and the transparency about sources builds trust. Great job — this is exactly what modern news apps should be like!
Amazing!
Curated and summarized news for easy reading,sources included. It's a great app for taking in your interests.
Needs Better Accessibility
I really like the concept of this app. I like the short summaries and the ability to see all sides. Like how it shows you both left-leaning and right-leaning opinions. I feel like that's something a lot more people need to see. However, as it stands at the moment, the usability with voiceover, the ios screenreader that allows blind people to use apple devices is bad. I'm able to read stories well enough but when it comes to interacting with them, especially commenting on them, it's not good at all. This short format would be great for blind and visually impaired people to get news, if these issues were improved upon.
Good Sources
Great digest of news from different sources
Very well designed news feed
