Plesner recommends sanctions on haredim who don't serve

Chairman of the Keshev Committee, Yohanan Plesner, tasked with creating recommendations to replace the Tal Law, presented the findings of his now-disbanded committee Wednesday morning, which included a goal of 80 percent haredi participation in military and civilian service within four years and the imposition of personal sanctions on those who do not serve.
The report recommends applying a principle of "service for all," which would apply to the ultra-Orthodox haredi population and later to the Israeli-Arab population.
