Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing mounting pressure from all sides — inside parliament, from opposition lawmakers, and amid growing international calls for military de-escalation. Chaos erupted in the Knesset as Netanyahu was met with chants of 'Shame!' and 'Leave!' during a heated debate over controversial laws concerning ultra-Orthodox Jewish military exemptions. The legislation, which freezes arrests of draft evaders and strengthens protections for religious studies, has intensified a long-running debate over equality in military service. Critics accuse Netanyahu of prioritising coalition survival, while supporters argue the move protects Israel’s religious communities. Cary Johnston tells you more on Firstpost America.
