Haredi students oppose Peri Committee, Student Union support

The Student Union in the haredi campus in Kiryat Ono – which represents some 2,500 haredi students unionized as part of the National Student Union – disavowed the national organization's support of the Peri Committee outline for haredi conscription.

The haredi union said: "This legislation is undertaken without dialogue and through coercion. This is one of the most sensitive issues currently debated in the public discourse. It is only appropriate that a consultation with representatives of the haredi public take place." (Ynet)
